Link safety
We check every new address. Links have no expiry date.
What we check
We check once — when the link is created.
- We look the address up in Google Safe Browsing: malware, phishing, scams.
- If the address is listed, the link is not created.
- No new links can point to a blocked domain.
- A link code is 9 random characters. Nobody can guess other links.
- The site runs through Cloudflare, which filters out DDoS attacks.
Limits of the check
The check lowers the risk but does not guarantee safety.
- Google may not know the newest phishing pages yet.
- We do not re-check links already created.
- If Google does not answer, the link is created unchecked.
- Before typing a password or card number, check which site you are on.
What a visitor sees
We block the domain a link points to, not the link itself.

HTTP 200
The domain is blocked
