Link protection
Control who can open a link and when. Open a link's superpowers to add any of these (a Pro+ feature):
| Control | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Password | Visitor must enter the password on an unlock page before redirecting |
| Expiry date | Link stops redirecting after the date |
| Max clicks | Link stops after N total clicks |
| Scheduled activation | Link only works after a start time |
| Geo-blocking | Allow- or deny-list specific countries |
| Bot protection | Filter automated traffic (block or challenge) |
What visitors see
- Password / expired / not-yet-active / click-cap reached → an unlock page explaining the state.
- Geo-blocked → a "not available in your region" page.
- Bot blocked → a plain block page; bot-challenge sends to a challenge page.
Brute-force protection
Password attempts on the unlock page are rate-limited per link + visitor, so guessing is throttled automatically.
Owner alerts
When a visitor hits an expired link, the owner gets an in-app notification (once). Combine with link goals for click-threshold alerts.
