Hey Stefano, Michael! Thanks so much and yes I know it's a bit of an awkward setup, the main reason is that the main site hosted on AWS can't hack like, a gazillion clicks because of a false-economy cost saving they were forced to go through.

I totally get that the Newsletter plugin is designed to be an all-in-one addition to a functional, externally accessible website.

Please don't go through the trouble of bothering the devs about this! It sounds like the answer is a no, by design, and that's totally OK - we can use an external link provider to give marketing stats while also reducing load on the server.

Thanks both 🙂

Hey Michael, apols! Will try to set it out in a neater way.

We have two hosts which sit in AWS, iplato.com and mygp.com

We have a separate server which is running a WP instance specifically to send out newsletters, this is using Amazon SES but is not web-accessible. Our marketing peeps wanna have link tracking but naturally it's pointing back to the webserver to try give reporting.

What I'm wondering I suppose if there is a different way to get those tracking stats without making the backend server available to an external networking, for the two websites they aren't on a VM muscley enough to handle the web-traffic if like 100k peeps click the backlinks.

I hope that helps?

Thanks a bundle,
Amrit
