What Is This Php Method Called For Tracking Links On Foreign Domains?

No. It isn’t possible as I have said in my last post. It IS NOT possible because you spoof the user’s IP Address with cURL’s IP Address so all you’re going to get for 20 different users is 20 of the same IP Address or whatever the IP that cURL is currently using. cURL itself acts like a regular user so it uses its own IP Address. You can try it for yourself.

  • Create a tracker that stores IP Addresses
  • Then go to that page without using cURL
  • Then go to that page using cURL
  • Try the same method on a different network such as going to the library

You basically get 2 different IP Address. And cURL can use different IP Addresses at times. So tracking and using “proxy” won’t work at all because you’re going to be using cURL’s IP Address and not the original user’s. This goes with file_get_contents as well.
