How to block your referer (YOU NEED TO DO THIS)

Postby runey71 » Wed Jul 20, 2011 9:38 am

Currently we are unable to suppress the script from passing on referer header data. This data is used by Kabam to detect the script and block it. All is not lost because there are ways to do this but it needs some work on your side.

FIREFOX
1) Download and install RefControl at http://www.stardrifter.org/refcontrol/
2) Once installed click Tools -> RefControlOptions
3) Click Add Site and type in wonderhill.com
4) Check the Block - Send no referer radio box
5) Click OK and then OK again

CHROME
Windows
1) Right click on your "Chrome" icon [either on your Desktop or your Taskbar]
2) Choose properties
3) At the end of your target line, place these parameters:
--no-referrers
4) Click OK

e.g. "C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --no-referrers

NOTE: The --no-referrers option will only work when you open Chrome from the icon you modified. It is best if you modify both the Desktop shortcut AND Taskbar shortcut.

IMPORTANT: Make sure you look at the example above closely. If your path contains spaces then it MUST be encapsulated with " ". There MUST be a single space between the end of your path and --no-referrers. Notice that --no-referrers has two minus symbols in front of it, contains two r's and ends with an s. If even one small typo is made then it won't work.

OS X
/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --no-referrers

# for Google Chrome you'll need to escape spaces like so:
/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --no-referrers

LINUX
chromium-browser --no-referrers
