    Can I make an “Outbound filter to list only external links” ?

    I use for this a plugin called “Outbound Link Manager” but it misses some external links. Your plugin is way better in detecting all external links but since you have no filter for Outbound links it’s a pain in the neck!..I saw your post that I can do that by searching for my domain name but this only list the inbound links not the outbound!
    Am I missing something ?

    No, there is currently no way to do that. You can search for links that contain a specific keyword or domain name, but there’s no “show any domain name except this one” option.

    Is it also impossible to only scan for broken links within the domain wordpress is hosted on?

    Unfortunately, yes.

    In theory, you could add every other domain to the exception list (Settings -> Link Checker -> Which Links To Check). This would prevent the plugin from checking links to those other sites. However, that’s not really practical as it would take a lot of work to find and list every external domain.
