I am absolutely new to cloaking and need some basic help. I plan to advertise on some ad networks (not big tech ones like google/facebook/tiktok/etc). But I don't want the ad network to see my real website as it may violate their policies. I know about static cloaking where I simply have a different website up til my ad is approved. But I need help with dynamic cloacking. Once I have been approved, how can I make sure that I am never showing my website to employees of the ad network?

I guess I could get their IP from the initial phase and block some range of IPs before and after that IP. Perhaps block the city and/or block the ISP. What else do you suggest? I feel like this is too simplistic and I will need more complex methods to keep my ad up long. Like, what if the ad network uses a VPN because surely this won't be the first time they are dealing with cloakers.

Please don't link me to cloaking services. Maybe I will use them later, but at first I want to learn about cloaking.
 
For example, Google’s robot IPs have distinctive characteristics. You just need to collect their IPs and add them to the cloak database. When these IPs visit, your white-label site is shown, while your original site is displayed for other IPs. Of course, you can combine this with other strategies.

This is essentially how cloaking works.
 
Wow for real? Just block the whole city or country if you will. Should be easy with nginx or cloudflare. They might have a screenshot system of sorts going on, so make sure that's covered too.
 
Instead of blocking it's better to serve the original webpage to those people. Absolutely achievable, and that's going to be really discrete, if anything you will just tell them a hack happened.
 
It's better if you purchase a cloaker. It'll save you a lot of headaches
