cli.gs
Shortened URLs and reported real click analytics behind them.
Use WhereGoes instead
Follows a shortened link through every redirect and names the final destination. It reports where the link goes, not whether the destination is malicious — pair it with a reputation scanner.
Open WhereGoesOne of the better URL shorteners of the bit.ly era, with genuine per-link analytics. In June 2009 an attacker exploited a flaw and repointed roughly two million links to a single destination; most were restored from backup, but the incident ended the service's credibility and it wound down. It is the standard illustration of why a shortener is a single point of failure for every link you have published.
Questions
No. Cligs is no longer running and cli.gs does not serve the tool any more. WhereGoes is the closest current equivalent — it follows a shortened link through every redirect and names the final destination.
Yes. Cligs sends your input to its own servers to process it. That is fine for public material; for anything containing personal data, use one of the on-device tools instead.
Wound down after a 2009 mass-redirect attack; links created with it no longer resolve.
