Frequently asked questions
What is link cloaking in affiliate marketing?
Link cloaking hides the true destination of an affiliate URL from crawlers and ad reviewers, while sending real buyers to the offer. ShieldGate does it in four reversible modes — reverse, mirror, gateway and short-link — so you keep a Google-safe version live at the same time.
How do I cloak affiliate links without hurting SEO?
Serve a clean, indexable safe page to crawlers and reviewers, and route verified human traffic to the money page. ShieldGate's ML score + ASN rules make that split automatic, so your organic rankings stay intact.
How is this different from Cloudflare's bot protection?
Cloudflare Bot Management starts at enterprise pricing and runs on their edge. ShieldGate starts free, is fully self-hostable, exposes the ML score via API and supports crypto billing — see the comparison table above.
Can I self-host ShieldGate?
Yes. The full stack ships as a Docker Compose bundle: Postgres, the decide API, the ML scorer, the admin dashboard and the WordPress plugin. Runs comfortably on a $10 VPS.
Does ShieldGate work with WordPress?
Yes — install the official WordPress plugin, paste your site key and every request is scored automatically. No theme edits, no DNS changes, no htaccess hacks.
How do I pay?
Card or ETH via Bitcart. No long contracts, no KYC on our end, cancel from the dashboard in one click.
