Using a javascript-based cloaker was a bad idea from the beginning. Not sure how people missed this important detail.

Yeah - leaving a client-side code footprint like that is asking for a ban. Private cloakers / custom solutions the only way forward.

Exactly. Javascript was asking for it.

Newbies will. Big players know better than that.

It would be cool to get the owner of Traffic Armor's point of view. He's member here.

That being said... These cloaker wars are getting hilariously out of hand.

Pretty sure that Chrome addon was created by competition.

People actually cloak with JS? lol wow i've been cloaking stuff for long time and JS you have no control. Either PHP or Mod_rewrite or something on the server side haha

Ah, great response - that explains it! Is the JS self hosted or does it make calls to the TA domain?

So Alex hates TrafficArmor then lol.

    Problem is, any reviewer can see that redirects are occurring because there is a PHP script doing “something” in the middle. Instead, here’s what your setup would look like with us:

Is that completely true? While that's the basic setup most setups I've encountered use php include which removes the "something in the middle" issue.

That guy hates all competition.

Not a nice way to do business in my opinion.

Removing the "something in the middle" is actually something any decent coder can do.
