1. Should I encrypt url strings so that users are not enticed to play
with them?
2. If so, what is the best way to go about it?

I'm building a site/app and many things are done by passing variables
through url's. I see this done all the time with facebook (profile
id's), forums (page view, sorting), and other sites.

ex.

I'm just wondering if it's worth the effort to try and obfuscate the
url string for security reasons. I know this isn't limited to just
OpenBD, but as I'm deploying this on OpenBD I'll be looking at how to
do this with it's toolset.
