Nowadays, we often check a website's url over & over again to atleast ensure it doesn't look fishy.
But in a case whereby the url has been masked,then what do we do?

If you are not familiar with the term “URL masking”,it simply means using free services provided by some websites such as TinyURL,Bit.ly,goo.gl...to make extremely long URLs short and also to hide a specific link from being viewed directly.

1. Get the url you want to unmask
   E.g http://tinyurl.com/dxk2jdq
2. Visit http://www.unshortn.com and paste the url in the text box(You can use the above url).
3. Finally,click on “Make Longer →” which is directly below the text box and you should see the real link live & direct.

That's all.
