Rewritten Avanan URL

The format of the rewritten Avanan URL is <click-time domain>_<original url>_<encrypted blob>. While configuring the Click-Time Protection engine, administrators can choose the <click-time domain> from these versions:

  • V1: https://avanan.url-protection.com/v1/

  • V2: https://url.avanan.click/v2/

In the <click-time domain> V2 version, the original URL is surrounded by underscores, making it easier to identify the original (rewritten) URL. Also, the URL is shorter and the domain is different from V1 version.

Note:

  • Avanan recommends using V2 version.

  • For rewritten QR codes, the structure will be the same as V2 version even if you select to use V1 version.

  • If a Click-Time Protection policy is configured and the Protect (Inline) Internal Traffic option is enabled in the Threat Detection policy, the system rewrites links in emails sent to members of the same organization. See Threat Detection Policy for Internal Emails.

  • For standard email security actions like rewriting URLs. To help maintain the integrity of digitally signed messages, Avanan offers the ability to avoid security modifications for S/MIME-signed emails. See Support for S/MIME-Signed Emails.
