First of all, hello everyone. After being a guest reader for a long time, I’ve decided to open an account and ask this question.
Although many questions regarding this have been asked on the forum, I’ve noticed that no clear answer has been given (or rather, the advice provided depends heavily on the specific use case).
I run ads on Google Ads. My websites are based on React Native and API based on ExpressJS, not PHP. Consequently, if I want to use a cloaking solution, it needs to support server-side cloaking.
For some reason, none of the market's biggest or most popular cloakers offer this as a standard solution. If you aren't using PHP, the only option they offer is calling client-side JavaScript; this is a huge disappointment coming from services touted as the best in the industry—especially given their price points.
Speaking from my own experience and the reasons behind my perspective:
Adspect (considered one of the best by many—and I lack the data to argue otherwise) does not offer users an API-based integration option. If you want to manage the process yourself—as I did—you have to de-obfuscate the provided PHP file, convert the logic into JavaScript, and integrate it into your Express server. That is exactly what I did, and everything worked perfectly; however, the mere fact that I had to go to such lengths is disappointing.
I hope I’ve managed to explain myself clearly so far.
Technically speaking, building a cloaker is actually quite easy; the reason I rely on these services is the data processing aspect, where I can't be entirely certain of what's happening under the hood. The fact that IP addresses must be filtered and processed amidst thousands of incoming campaign traffic requests prevents this from being a simple system I could easily develop myself.
My actual question to you is: which cloaking service is the best—at least for me, or for people like me who don't use PHP and possess above-average technical knowledge?

but there is no service like this. At least i see.
