Confirmed: network compliance bots now arrive as residential-IP headless, not datacenter
The old cloaker logic — block known datacenter ranges, show the safe page — is dead. Compliance crawlers rent residential proxies and run real browser engines, so IP-based cloaking waves them straight through to your money page.
— layer behavioral signals: mouse entropy, scroll cadence, timing jitter
— don't rely on a single gate; stack 3+ weak signals
— assume the reviewer looks exactly like your best converting user
The arms race moved from IP lists to behavior. Most cloakers haven't caught up.
— confidence: high
