Recently I started working in the crypto signals niche and I’m still learning the cloaking side. For cloaker I chose TrafficGuardian and hosting from DigitalOcean. Setup is mostly done, now trying to understand filter configuration better.

Right now I’m confused about which filters are actually important in the beginning and which ones are unnecessary. What settings do you guys usually keep enabled for safer traffic filtering without making it too strict?

Don’t overfilter at start
Too many filters - lost legit traffic

Usually enough for first setup:
1) Block known bots/datacenter IPs
2) Enable VPN/Proxy detection
3) Filter suspicious ASN
4) Separate Facebook/Google reviewers to whitepage
5) Log all suspicious visits before blocking hard

And always test your flow from real mobile devices + residential IPs
A lot of people break delivery because filters are too aggressive

Yeah I'm also still figuring out in crypto signals niche. I feel like starting with too many filters can block real users, so I'm keeping it basic for now and adjusting slowly based on traffic.
 
Filters like VPN, proxy, and known crawler blocks are helpful to avoid fake clicks early on.
 
Only allow traffic from jurisdictions where your offer is allowed, and block countries where you cannot operate.
 
Start with basic filters first bot/VPN/datacenter detection, suspicious IPs, and device/browser checks. Don’t make it too aggressive in the beginning or you’ll lose good traffic too. Test slowly and adjust based on campaign behavior.
 
at start keep filters very simple, dont overcomplicate things, focus more on clean legit traffic and testing before adding too many rules.
 
add rules one by one untill you feel ok ... sometimes we loose real visitors because of this setups
 
just keep Known Bots, Data Centers/VPNs, and ISP filtering enabled to block ad reviewers networks. keep geo filter strict for your target country but dont touch device settings or it will get too strict and kill real traffic.
 
I would keep it simple at the onset. Ensure that your setup is consistent with the terms and conditions of the traffic sorce before you scale to avoid any problems with real people visitin

Im using TrafficGuardian too. I mostly turn off business and wireless, but it really depends what niche your running. Every setup is a bit diffrent, so the filters should match the kind of traffic your getting.
 
Don’t over-filter in the beginning, focus on understanding your traffic sources first and only adjust filters based on real data, too many rules early can hurt your good traffic as well.
 
Because every setup is unique, it's best to keep your initial filters simple. Test them gradually and only make adjustments once you have gathered enough data.
 
I dont think there is a best setup for everyone. Just keep testing small changes and see what gives better results.
