For a buyer who is in it for the long haul – rather than just draining one offer and leaving – this is the foundation. But a foundation needs to be built upon.

The ad is displayed to the target audience without issues during the ad review stage. However, when an ad network moderator follows the ad link manually after launch, they also do so via a standard internet connection, sometimes even with similar geo-location. Without cloaking, they will see the same landing page as a real buyer and spot a violation.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">With a configured stream in XCloak, the moderator arrives at a white page – a neutral page that fully complies with the platform's rules – while the real buyer sees the offer.

For market research, ad verification, localized SERP checks and price monitoring, a quality Dexodata proxy pool with correct geo is often sufficient on its own.

It reads User-Agent, referrer, and behavioral patterns typical of ad network scanner bots, and also weeds out spy services and VPN traffic.

Facebook, Google, and TikTok rely on different scanner bot patterns and User-Agents, so there is no single universal rule set that covers all of them.
