What does this thing do? Wait, I'll check the user guide.
"Macfilink is very intuitive, so you can probably find out everything you need to know just by using and exploring the application." This is a serious offence against the logical rules applying to user guides. A user guide should tell you stuff. This one says "explore." Black mark.
Intuitive? No. Black mark. What, exactly does it do? The user guide should start with an explanatory note of why I need this tool and what it does. The guide should then progress to explain how to use it. Unfortunately the guide does neither.
Sorry, I wasted two hours "exploring" and am none the wiser. I simply have no idea what this tool is supposed to do, whether I should need it and, if so, how to use it.
Plonk.

Any one break the so-call "encoding" in one minute with only PHP.
1. Open your terminal, type "php" without quote, press return
2. Type "<? echo rawurldecode( <<<ENCODING " without quote and press return
3. Paste the encoded text (%6d%6c%3e%0a%...), press return
4. Type "ENCODING" without quote, press return
5. Type "); ?>" without quote, press return
6. Press Control-D
...and the original HTML will be displayed one your screen.
BTW, is there any webmaster so idiot to put value-added resource to someplace where users can directly access ? There are hundreds of methods you can hide you resource, for example:
1. Set the Apache to check HTTP-REFERER.
2. Set the Apache to use basic HTTP Authentication.
3. Put your file in directory other then htdocs/*, and use PHP readfile() command to dump it to authorized users.
Practice your webmaster and programming skill, and forget these silly tricks.

As for the application purpose, I've tried to explain it on the main product page, though perhaps not clearly enough. Macfilink is a specialized tool for people who earn money from affiliate sites. If that isn't you, this product won't help you, but if you do have such income, it will help protect it by cloaking the affiliate links.
It creates web pages that you can include on your site for each affiliate page you want to link to. Instead of embedding a link directly to the affiliate page, you link to the page Macfilink creates instead. The affiliate page is loaded within that page, so the location URL looks like it is on your site, but it's really a third-party page. The affiliate URL is hidden.
I hope this helps clear it up. Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.
