Are there alternative methods, such as using a proxy, to completely hide the redirect destination in PHP?

To completely hide the redirect destination in PHP, one alternative method is to use a proxy server to mask the actual URL. This involves setting up a separate server that acts as an intermediary between the user and the destination URL, effectively hiding the destination from the user's view. By routing all requests through the proxy server, the actual destination URL remains hidden. 

<?php
$proxy_url = 'https://www.example.com'; // Destination URL
$proxy = 'https://proxy-server.com'; // Proxy server URL

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $proxy.$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

echo $response;
?>
