What is the idea behind?

There is an obvious public demand for dereferer pages. There are quite some derefering solutions available, but as to date of the launch of AnonymURL.org, people needing a dereferer have to use either a free, branded one (with ads, wasting customer bandwith and annoying users, thus not suitable for a lot of people), or set up their own derefering page.

The aim of AnonymURL.org is to provide a slick, quality derefering service for free, without the disadvantages of existing "commercial" dereferer sites.

What does it cost?

AnonymURL.org is a free service. We do not charge web page admins for linking via AnonymURL.org, neither do we charge users for being redirected. It's as simple as that.

What about the traffic data / logs?

If derefering is all about privacy, you always should be concerned of what we do with your data. Being the mediator between the linking page and the target page of a derefering link, we are well-informed about the whole process. We know the URL's of both pages, plus your IP, and if you click multiple links using AnonymURL.org in a session, this would make up for an interesting profiling job. So the question is, what do we make of all the data?

The answer is as simple as it could be: Nothing. We are simply not interested in all this information. No IP logging, no profiles, no backtracking. No selling of any information.
