Hey guys,

I launched a Google Ads campaign just one day ago and cloaked it using Cloaking.House. Everything seemed to be running fine — the campaign started spending and hit around €7 in ad spend.

However, I suddenly got two disapprovals:
  • Compromised Site
  • Circumventing Systems
I followed the integration steps properly: used the PHP integration method, had a white page uploaded and cloaked with a landing redirect. The setup seemed fine.
Now I’m wondering if there’s something in the setup that triggered these flags, or if Google’s detection systems are just that fast now.

Has anyone here faced the same issue lately? Is Cloaking.House still safe to use with Google Ads, or is it becoming too risky?

Any feedback or similar experience would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!
 
If you get that issue, that means your cloaker got detected. This is why you will see compromised site. have you setup cloaking properly?
Issue is with your cloaking
 
Could be for a lot of reasons. Maybe it's your whitepage, maybe you didn't warm up properly. Can also be the cloaker. I don't have experience with Cloaking.House to be honest, I use another cloaker that I know that it's reliable, but even then it's important to warm up properly and make a good white page.

I would try to run traffic directly to the whitepage, without the cloaker, to see if the issue persists. But you may need to make a new one from scratch and/or buy a new domain.
 
Thanks for the reply!

Here are the exact settings I used for the cloaker on CloakingHouse:
  • White page: Loading
  • Offer page: Redirect
  • Cloaking enabled ✅
  • Filtering settings:
    • Block blacklisted IPs
    • Block transitions from VPN/Proxy
    • Block transitions from IPv6
    • Block transitions without ISP
    • Block transitions without referrer
  • Number of clicks from one IP per day: 2
  • Number of clicks before filtering: 0
  • Countries allowed: 2 (US + UK)
  • Devices allowed: 3
  • Operating systems allowed: 16
  • Browsers allowed: 7
I thought this setup was pretty tight, but maybe I'm missing something?

You cloaked too early
Account trust score still very low

Which cloaker are you using ?

Before running this campaign, i ran a white campaign who already spent $50, it’s not enough?
 
Frankly, it seems to me to be more your whitepage setup, Google has recently made a big update on this so surely your templates no longer pass.

Do you know some good templates or website builder to build the white page pleaseee ?

I created a new campaign on the same account redirecting directly to the whitepage without the cloaker (i changed hosting an domain), and still got the "Circumventing systems" after 5€ spent, i don't understand why...

That domain is gone and nothing can be done . Buy new domain get a new safepage done on that domain and then launch a safe campaign.

Is it possible can I have a look over your safepage which got disabled for compromised + circumventing policy.

Also after safe warmup how many money keywords you added and how aggressive adtext did you used sometime keywords + adtext also play crucial role.
 
I have encountered the same problem. You can try to use a new domain name and low-budget test without cloak. You will find that it has nothing to do with cloak. It is a problem with the white page. Although I don’t know what is wrong with the white page.
