If you have looked at how affiliate marketers run campaigns, you have probably seen cloaking services and antidetect browsers mentioned in the same breath. They are not alternatives. They sit on opposite ends of the request.
Cloaking: decides what a visitor sees
A cloaking service checks each incoming request (IP, location, device, browser, referrer, proxy or hosting signals) and routes it to one of two pages: a neutral one or the real landing page. Marketers use it to keep bots and out-of-GEO traffic from polluting their conversion data.
Antidetect browser: decides how you look
On the other end, running many accounts from one browser means shared cookies, the same fingerprint and often the same IP, which is how accounts get linked. An antidetect browser gives each account its own profile, with separate fingerprint, storage and proxy.
The catch
Major ad networks prohibit cloaking when it shows reviewers different content than real users. A filtering tool does not change that and does not protect an account from restrictions. Check each platform's policy first.
Disclosure: I work on SEO and content at Hidemyacc, an antidetect browser. We wrote a longer guide with covering the setup step by step: read the full guide.
