WP-HideRefer adds proxies to your outgoing links, keeping your site private! 

== Description ==

When your readers follow links from your blog, the linked site can see where they come from. Thus; your blog is known by every site you've ever linked to.

WP-HideRefer adds proxies to your outgoing links, keeping your site private! 

There are many plugins to anonymize links. What makes WP-HideRefer better is:

* it's 100% WordPress API compliant
* it's entirely server-side (= cacheable & no JavaScript!)
* therefore; supports [infinite-scroll](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/infinite-scroll/) (AJAX / streaming)
* it correctly filters your feeds and comments
* [it can handle your manually anonymized links](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-hiderefer/faq/)!

== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= What's the White List for? =
Once the plugin is activated it redirects all links via a proxy, except for the URLs you enter in this list.

If you used to manually add proxies to your links, add those proxies to the White List to avoid double-proxying. You should also white list your own domain.

= What anonymizing services are supported? =
You can use any service which runs of URL parameters.
