What does an anonymous-URL generator actually hide?
An anonymous-URL generator wraps a destination in an intermediate redirect so the destination does not receive the original page as its normal referrer. Combining a shareable wrapper with referrer suppression is useful when source-page disclosure is the specific privacy concern.
This tool composes the dereferer and short-link mechanisms, which means the intermediary necessarily sees the destination. It does not hide the visitor's IP address, account, cookies, fingerprint, timing, or identity from the destination and should not be described as a VPN or anonymity network.
