Cloaking confusing international traffic?

[coglethorpe]

I'm working with an offer that only shows up outside the US. I'm running through Prosper202 with cloaking and the server I'm hosting P202 on is in the US. If I use cloaking, will the network think the click is coming from inside the US?


What if I turn off cloaking? Will it keep the IP from the visitor outside the US?

Or, possibly I could host my redirect outside the US? I'd hate to do that for one offer.

The real IP of the user should show through, but you could always test it yourself. Make a new 202 campaign and have the click through url be a test url on your server.

Put something like <?php print $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] ?> in the test url's content and name it something like test.php.

Now call the cloaked 202 url which should take you to this page, and show you the address the network would potentially see. If its your personal address, you're good. If its your server address... gonna have to turn off cloaking.

If you decide to turn it off, you could always do your own simple cloak, which is simply a meta refresh. 202 does a double meta refresh since some browsers don't follow the rules.
