more than likely, you can try blocking them too, but it can be detected as wellVery interesting question.
In theory you need to detect the requests from Instagram/Facebook crawlers and redirect them to any safe webpage that won't make you suspicious. But I heard in practice people tried to do that and have no luck with it. Still don't know what cause the problem, but in theory it should work. Maybe crawlers/spiders can detect that you are redirecting them?
it would only boost the detection, wrap it with copper instead..... ==aWrap your mobile phone in aluminum foil and you be undetectable.
You probably will have to make a landing page since IG crawls the shortened links . (or try a redirect?)

usually LPs are the solutions for these kind of problems, most of the time an LP is better than direct linking anyway, there are offers which don't even allow direct linking
I'm having the same issue with facebook. Once facebook blocked a domain, it will block any domain that redirect to it. Tried iframing, and cloaking with URL shorterner, still doesn't work. I even tried doing double redirect, they instantly block all domain that I'm using for redirect.
OP you should find a way to make your domain whitelisted instead of cloak them / by pass / hide them..... make it whitelisted

i dont know much about IG But How they can detect on LPs ? Just get LP and add cloaked aff link in LP (Meta fresh).
Instead of iframing (or combined with and before iframing) try using a redirect maybe with a meta refresh on your domain. Then short link that as well, you might be just one layer away never know![]()
Also it is possible that your domain is blacklisted as well and that even if u have a clean landing page it may be getting blocked or reviewed because of significant past complaints or heavy posting/spam.
You need to create a custom redirect script that does the following:
1) Checks the user agent and 301 redirects bots and other undesirables to something innocuous.
2) Disallows HEAD requests.
3) 302 redirects real users to your target location.
No iframes or other techniques necessary.
