Question 1

What does Acloak actually do?

Accepted Answer

Acloak inspects every visitor in real time and shows your real offer page only to genuine, targeted traffic. Bots, spy services, automated review systems and competitors are quietly served a neutral “white” page instead. This is what's known as traffic cloaking — or white-page / safe-page filtering: the safe page keeps automated reviewers satisfied while your real buyers reach the offer, and every decision is logged so you can see exactly who got what.

Question 2

Will it slow down my site?

Accepted Answer

No. The decision runs server-side in milliseconds, and resolved IP intelligence is cached in Redis and Postgres — so repeat visitors are instant and you don't hammer external APIs. In practice a campaign taking 50,000 daily visitors typically sees sub-10ms median decision latency, because the IP-intelligence result is cached after the first lookup and subsequent requests from the same IP resolve from Redis in under a millisecond.

Question 3

How do I install it?

Accepted Answer

Drop a single PHP loader onto your site: rename your existing index and upload ours. It posts the visitor's data to your campaign's decision endpoint and serves the right page. No other code changes, no SDK, and no DNS or hosting migration — if your site runs PHP, you're a two-file upload away from live.

Question 4

Can I test before going live?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Shadow mode computes the real verdict but always serves the white page, so you can validate your targeting risk-free, then flip the campaign to “on” when you're confident. Because the verdict is logged either way, you can see exactly how many visitors would have passed or been filtered before a single real visitor ever reaches your offer.

Question 5

What can I filter on?

Accepted Answer

Country, device, OS, browser, language, time zone, connection type, VPN/proxy/datacenter, verified search crawlers, required GET parameters, per-IP daily click caps, and your own allow/block lists — each configurable per campaign. Every gate runs as one of 26 ordered checks, so you can stack rules — for instance, US-only mobile traffic with a required fbclid parameter and a per-IP daily cap — and see exactly which gate caught each blocked visit.

Question 6

Is there a free trial?

Accepted Answer

You can get started for free and explore the dashboard, and every paid plan includes a 7-day free trial. Upgrade when you're ready to scale your campaigns — you can pay with crypto (USDT, BTC, ETH and more) or card, and plans run from $29 to $249 a month with no long-term contract.

Question 7

Is traffic cloaking the same as link cloaking?

Accepted Answer

No — they solve different problems. Traffic cloaking inspects each visitor and serves your offer page only to real, targeted humans while bots and automated review systems see a neutral safe page. Link cloaking simply masks or prettifies an affiliate URL and shows everyone the same destination. Acloak is server-side traffic filtering built for paid-ads media buyers running on Facebook, Google, TikTok and native traffic — not a URL masker.
