What a strange domain

Alex1004 · Oct 30, 2023

I want to
ask
This is the first time I've seen a URL link that can't be opened on a desktop PC but the link can be opened on the Android platform.
example
The site is an online gambling site.

What makes me wonder is why the URL link can't be opened on a desktop PC? and why can the URL link be opened on Android? Thanks

sorry for my bad english

What did you mean? It redirects to somewhere instead of the main domain?

You could restrict it based on agent user string for example to determine whether it is a deskstop user or a mobile user.
In a simple way, would be using something like (or) cloudflare page rules

Shouldn't need that much maintenance if you are using "contains" as opposed to absolutes
Although, this still can be spoofed using an agent user changer.

Or a mob detect plugin also would work

could be many things without seeing the offending URL
most simple is the webmaster is using a mobile detection script (https://hgoebl.github.io/mobile-detect.js/ is a popular one)
you can redirect desktop users page x, iphone users to page y, android users to page z.

some links are neeed to be open within the app only and not on desktop browser or mobile browser.
even I design such links which do not open if clicked with any desktop UA

This is strange! I have never seen it before. Is it something related to cloaking or something?

May be they have designed their website to work better on mobile phones, so it might not open properly on a desktop computer, or there could be a technical problem with the desktop browser.
