What do you mean with "links inside the message in phpBB" ? e.g.
https://www.aspecificsite.com
Literally, this means links posted as part of the post_text but I suspect you're actually referring to the link to the post itself (e.g. to the post I'm replying to: the usual link is viewtopic.php?p=15801666#p15801666 (https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?p=15801666#p15801666) (perhaps you're referring to SEO optimisation?)
Spelling is freeware, which means you can use it for free.
On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.

I might be wrong but can't you do that with the built in viglink extension?

I found this topic through search because I have the need for auto rewrite links as well.

the problem with Viglink is that it requires a profile creation on a third party platform and executes their script, which is unacceptable.

You can use the Word censor for this. For example, if you want this http://www.bluehost.com to produce this http://www.bluehost.com/track/affiliate_code, make a Word censor that substitutes the latter for the former.
