Referer Checker

See the HTTP referer your browser is sending right now, as your server and your browser each report it.


Server sees HTTP_REFERER (none sent)
Your browser sends document.referrer (checking...)

The HTTP referer header tells a website which page you came from. IP Location Block can allow or block requests based on referer rules, and can suppress the referer on outbound links to protect your visitors' privacy.

What is a referer?

When you follow a link, your browser usually sends a Referer header telling the destination which page you came from. Sites use it for analytics, and sometimes to gate content. It can also leak where your visitors have been.

IP Location Block can match requests by referer to allow or block them, and it can suppress the referer on outbound links so your visitors' browsing history stays private. If the values above are empty, your browser or a privacy setting is already withholding the referer.
