XCloak

XCloak (xcloak.cc) is a cloud-based traffic cloaking platform created specifically for affiliate marketers, media buyers, and agencies running paid ads in gray and semi-gray verticals: gambling, crypto, nutra, dating, and Web3 projects. The service solves one of the most common causes of financial loss in media buying: the ban of an ad account because an ad network moderator saw something on the landing page that they shouldn’t have seen.

The idea behind XCloak is simple: to split the ad traffic into two streams before the visitor even reaches the page. A real user interested in the offer is sent to the actual sales page (black page). The ad network’s bot, moderator, spy service, or a VPN/proxy user whose behavior resembles an inspector is sent to a neutral, safe page (white page) that fully complies with the platform’s policies. The decision on where to direct a specific visit is made automatically and almost instantly, based on an analysis of the IP address, User-Agent, referrer, device type, and other technical characteristics of the request.

For teams paying for advertising campaigns using FuncCards virtual cards, XCloak completes the logical next step in the chain: the card solves the payment issue for the ads, and cloaking ensures that the ads don’t burn out in the first few days due to an account ban.

How XCloak Works Technically

At the core of the service lies a traffic filtering system that analyzes every incoming request across several parameters simultaneously:

• IP address and its reputation: determining whether the address is associated with known data centers, VPN services, or proxies often used by bots and moderators to hide their real location.
• User-Agent of the request: matching against a database of known bots and scanners from ad networks, search engines, and spy services.
• Referrer: where exactly the click came from and whether the source matches what is expected, for example, a real click from an ad network feed versus a suspicious direct visit.
• Behavioral signals: patterns characteristic of automated checks rather than a real live user.

Based on the combination of these signals, the system makes a decision within milliseconds and directs the traffic to one of two pre-prepared pages. All filtering logic is configured within a so-called “flow”: a set of rules for a specific advertising campaign, traffic source, and offer. A single XCloak account can run an unlimited number of separate flows, each with its own filtering settings and its own white page / black page pair.

Key Features of the Service

Filtering of bots, spy services, and VPN traffic. The core and one of the most vital functions of XCloak is the automatic recognition and blocking of traffic coming from ad network crawler bots, spy tools (used by competitors to analyze others’ creatives), and users hiding their real location via VPNs or public proxies.

Bypassing moderation in major ad networks. XCloak flow settings account for the specific moderation requirements of Facebook Ads, Google Ads, and TikTok Ads, the three most content-demanding platforms that media buyers in gray verticals encounter most frequently.

API. For teams with their own development and internal infrastructure, XCloak provides the ability to integrate cloaking logic directly into their system via PHP code, bypassing the need to work exclusively through the web interface. This is especially valuable for agencies managing dozens of campaigns simultaneously that want to automate flow creation and setup without manual effort.

Real-time analytics. The XCloak dashboard displays live statistics for each flow: how much traffic went to the white page versus the offer page, as well as time-based dynamics. This allows media buyers to quickly spot anomalies, such as a sharp spike in traffic sent to the white page, which often indicates an intensified review by the ad network, and adjust their strategy in time before the account gets banned.

Affiliate program. XCloak users who refer new clients via their referral link earn a reward for every paying user brought in. This serves as an additional revenue stream for those already actively using the service and recommending it to colleagues.

Flexible pricing tiers. XCloak offers three pricing plans designed for different scales of operation:

• Starter: $25/month. Ideal for solo buyers or small teams running a limited number of campaigns and testing cloaking setups for the first time.
• Pro: $60/month. An expanded plan for teams with growing traffic volumes and a higher number of simultaneous flows.
• Agency: $150/month. A plan for agencies and large teams needing maximum flow volume, priority support, and scaling capabilities across dozens of campaigns at once.

The transparency of the pricing structure, with no hidden fees for basic filtering features, sets XCloak apart from competitors, where the final cost rises significantly when adding extra flows or traffic volume.
