The Ultimate Way to Cloak and Hide any Website Address or URL (Stealth Forwarding)

Most of the existing URL cloaking services are only a redirection by a randomly generated short URL. The real URL of the target website or web page will eventually be revealed when the visitor arrives at it after the obscure redirection. So how to ACTUALLY hide and cloak the destination URL of any website or web page so the address bar of the browser stays unchanged? In other words, how to create a stealth forwarding?

With a simple HTML web page, you can do that very easily. Copy and paste the following HTML code into a file named google.html and save it at example.com/google.html:

<!doctype html>
<html>

<head>
<title>Google</title>
<style type="text/css">
body {margin:0;}
iframe {padding:0;border:0;position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;}
</style>
</head>

<body>
<iframe src="http://www.google.com/"></iframe>
</body>

</html>

Now navigate to your website http://www.example.com/google.html. It’s Google’s home page no problem. Better yet, the URL in the browser address bar doesn’t change to http://www.google.com/.

    Allan bro,

    I know for certain you are not getting the point
    just create one website [empty] then save that sites file [any browser]
    and folder on desktop now click on that file icon [which shows in browser
    left click it and then open it with txt file..erase its content and and
    copy-paste above HTML code and instead of http://www.Google.com just give
    your favorite website redirection http://www.i-want-to-redirect-this-ite.com….
    and then upload this file folder in your any named website like
    http://www.i-want-above-site-redirected-on-this-site-but-by-showing-this-sites-url-only.com
    the this website will show above redirected site without showing without loosing
    its own url …….And you are done….
    hope this will satisfy your query

  3. Thank you! Your code works like a charm! Thank you for sharing as this code is really helpful in cloaking ugly affiliate links a lot of people shy away from when they see it in the address bar.

  4. This method does have a few problems: (1) if the site contains Javascript that assumes it’s not running in a frame, the Javascript might break; (2) if the user has CSS overrides, the iframe size code might not take effect and the iframe could end up being too small; (3) some ad-blockers (and very old browsers) might block the iframe altogether; (4) the user can still say “open frame in new window” etc. The only way to really hide a site’s address is to reverse-proxy for it (by setting up Nginx or something); if you are not the owner of the site then check the legal situation first. 加油!
