    Link shortener

    Date: Jul 21 2020

    Summary: YOURLS is very sleek link shortener. It can be installed on any server of your choice. It offers public and private mode to be used. The public mode allows anyone to create short link why the private mode allows only the authorised personnel to use the service of shortening links. YOURLS support proxies, so basically you can install it behind any firewall get an extra layer of security. It is a simple functioning URL shortener hosted on your own hosting which works effectively.

    Positive: YOURLS is an easy to use PHP based script package to shorten the link and can be hosted on any server. I have complete control over the software and data privacy as it is hosted on own server nothing it's shared with any anyone.

    Negative: Overall it's a great tool but I I miss the the analytics, hope it will be introduced soon.
