Linklok URL - Secure download links on your site

What is Linklok URL?

Linklok URL allows you to place links to download files (or embedded images etc) on your website while securely hiding the true location of the files. The actual files linked to can actually be stored anywhere on your server (within or outside of webroot) or with Amazon S3, Dropbox, Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage, Digital Ocean Spaces or Google Cloud Storage. Links are automatically authenticated using secure hashing and can be set to expire between 1 minute and several years after creation if required. Links can also be locked to the users IP address ensuring they can't be shared even before they expire! There is basically no way an internet user can find out the actual location of your files.

What else can it do?

As well as securing links on your pages Linklok URL can also be used with a form to collect user data and email secure links to the user. This way you can be sure to get a valid email. An optional captcha can be used to stop bots. When used with a form Linklok URL can automatically add the user to your mailing list with AWeber, Mailchimp, GetResponse and ARP Reach currently supported. There is an option to block free type emails such as hotmail or yahoo and even to watermark PDF downloads with the users email address. You can download the manual below to read about other options.

Example 1

Linklok URL can create links within your page dynamically as the page is created. The following download link securely hides the true location on the server where the file is stored.

Download

Example 2

The following image also has the location hidden and has a 10 minute expiry time. This means that if someone copies the link and places it on another site (a forum for example) it will stop working after 10 minutes. A user accessing the image correctly from our site will have no problems seeing the image even if they refresh the page.

Example 3

Linklok URL can also lock links to the IP address of the user. This feature can of course be combined with an expiry time as well. To handle ISP's who change their IP address for each access you can adjust how many parts of the IP address to verify. We suggest checking only the first 3 parts as in the example below.

Download

Example 4

Linklok URL can work with a form to email the user the secure download link(s). The example form below will send you a link to download the manual for Linklok URL. Be sure to enter your real email address (which we won't use for any purpose) otherwise you won't receive the link. The link will be valid for 60 minutes and is not IP locked. We also demonstrate the PDF watermarking feature of Linklok URL by adding your email to each page of the PDF file.

Wordpress Support

We include a Wordpress plugin providing easy to use short codes which can be used to add download links to your WP pages and posts. Please note that Linklok URL still needs to be setup on your server in the standard way before you can use the plugin. The plugin is not suitable for use if your site is hosted by wordpress.com.

Feature List

Linklok URL has a huge number of features including those listed here. You can download the comprehensive PDF manual for full details.
Easy to install on almost any server supporting PHP. No PHP knowledge is needed.
No database or cookies needed
Adding Linklok URL to a page is a breeze. A line is added to the top of the page which enables Linklok and then each link you want to secure is just a simply function call added to your existing links.
Securely hides the true location of files on your server. Links do not contain the location of the files on your server, not even in encrypted form.
Your download files can be stored on your server, Amazon S3, Dropbox, Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage, Digital Ocean Spaces or Google Cloud Storage. New Feature
Files can be stored outside of your webroot if supported by your server.
Download links generated by Linklok can have an expiry time set which can be from minutes up to several years. They can also be set to never expire in which case they simply hide the location of the file on your server.
As well as the expiry time set in the links Linklok can also IP lock them to the user.
Can work with a form of your own design to can collect user data and email out one or more download links. These links can be time and IP locked if required. The form data submitted is forwarded to you by email together with the users IP and optionally the IP country. Form data can also be logged in a text file if required. Using this method only users who enter a real valid email address will get your links.
Forms can use the built in CAPTCHA code field to stop spam
Can optionally block free or other types of email addresses from receiving the download links. This helps to ensure that you get valid emails where clients can really be contacted.
Can stop bandwidth theft (anti leeching)
Links can point to an html or PHP page on your server instead of a download. However please note that the security only applies to the page pointed to and not onward links from that page.
Linklok URL can log to a text file all form submitted data and downloads.
A password protected form built in can be used to manually email secured links to any email address.

Requirements

Linklok works on most Linux or Windows servers whether shared or dedicated. Just check that the server has PHP 5.5 to PHP 8.1 (most do). We can recommend A2 Hosting for use with our website scripts but most hosting plans are fine. We advise clients to download and read the manual before purchasing.

Please note that closed web creator sites like Wix, Weebly etc are not supported as they do not allow addons to be used.
