Account protection
Strong password requirements, email verification, TOTP two-factor authentication, recovery codes, secure sessions, and security alerts protect access.

Security at 4ul.ink
Security is built into account access, link creation, redirects, analytics, APIs, and webhook delivery—not added as a badge after launch.
Defense in depth
Protection across the product
The controls below describe features currently implemented by 4ul.ink. They are not a claim that any online service is invulnerable.
Application security
CSRF protection, prepared database queries, scoped API tokens, rate limits, permission checks, and audit events protect application actions.
Link and destination safety
Nova Shield validates destinations, blocks private and reserved networks, explains risk, monitors changes, and supports quarantine and appeals.
Integration integrity
Signed webhooks, replay-resistant delivery IDs, DNS pinning, strict HTTPS endpoints, and bounded responses reduce integration risk.
Privacy-conscious analytics
Product analytics are aggregated without exposing raw visitor IP addresses, full user agents, or persistent visitor identifiers to link owners.
Secret handling
Passwords and API tokens are hashed; sensitive provider, TOTP, and webhook secrets remain server-side and are encrypted where stored.
