SAFETY AND TRANSPARENCY

LinkTimer Safety, URL Validation and Expiry Limits

LinkTimer is a controlled redirect service, not an encrypted secret-sharing product. Its safety controls focus on public URL validation, transparent destinations, server-enforced expiry and abuse reporting.

URL validation

Public destinations only

The creator accepts public HTTP or HTTPS URLs and rejects localhost and private IPv4 ranges.

No embedded credentials

URLs containing a username or password in the address are rejected.

Destination visibility

Recipients can review the destination hostname before they choose to continue.

Expiry and search protection

Server-enforced limits

The backend checks link state and expiration before allowing a redirect.

Early revocation

Owners can disable or delete managed links when access should end sooner.

No indexing of temporary routes

User-generated, expired, invalid, account and administration routes use noindex headers and are omitted from the sitemap.

Important limitation

No redirect service can guarantee that a destination is harmless. Check the hostname and use the report option when a LinkTimer URL appears suspicious.

Ready to set an expiry duration?

Paste a public destination, choose the duration and create the temporary LinkTimer address.
