    No, if you click a link that brings you to or from a site your IP is logged

    Navigating the internet requires having and disclosing your IP address.

    Sorry

      The destination logs the IP. The source doesn’t see the click, because it happens in your client, not in their site.

      Source: managed tens of thousands of sites and hundreds of thousands of servers for over 25 years.

        Not true, many frameworks out there for tracking client side interaction, and not only clicks, also keystroke and even just mouse movements on the page….It is called RUM data. It works similar to google analytics.

          Your splitting hairs at this point.

          My point was without SOMETHING to track clicks, you… Don’t.
