after doing my own research, i sent myself an ip grabber, it got my ip because i clicked on it but it also got this:
View attachment 33436
the exact same ip as soiboi got
View attachment 33437
so here's all the info that soiboi left out
View attachment 33438
soiboi did not get basil's ip, he got the bot's ip.
bots automatically ping links for whatever reason.
on my profile i did a test to see if the urls get proxied, but they don't it seems, the proxy is apart of the data-href but not the -href you click
so you can get ip logged on this site, so stay clear of suspicious links.
