Overview
LinkGuard protects you from phishing, scams, and malicious links — before you click.
HOW IT WORKS
Hover over any link on any website. LinkGuard instantly analyzes it and shows a small tooltip with a safety rating. No clicking required. No data sent to third parties.
WHAT IT CHECKS
✓ SSL certificate (HTTP vs HTTPS)
✓ Suspicious domain patterns and typosquatting (paypa1.com ≈ paypal.com)
✓ Dangerous TLDs commonly used in phishing (.tk, .xyz, .top and more)
✓ Phishing keywords in URLs (verify, account, secure, update)
✓ IP addresses used instead of domain names
✓ Homograph attacks (lookalike characters from other alphabets)
✓ Shortened URLs — automatically expands bit.ly, tinyurl, tiny.pl and others to show the real destination
PRIVACY FIRST
- Zero data collection — LinkGuard never sends your browsing history anywhere
- No account required
- No analytics, no telemetry
- Full source code available on GitHub
OPEN SOURCE
LinkGuard is fully open source. You can inspect every line of code at github.com/nowakpawel/linkguard
Built by a developer who got tired of clicking links and hoping for the best.
