Set up a cloaking domain with Namecheap
Configure a custom cloaking subdomain in Namecheap, add the CNAME record required by Skro, and verify the connection.
A cloaking domain controls the referrer information passed to an affiliate network or offer page. This guide uses go.example.com and points it to skrocloak.com.
Before you begin
You need access to your domain’s DNS settings and the Settings → Domains section in Skro. Use a subdomain, such as go.example.com, for this setup.
Step 1. Add the domain in Skro
- In Skro, open Settings → Domains.
- Find Cloaking Domains and add
go.example.com. - Review the CNAME configuration shown for your domain.
Step 2. Create the CNAME record in Namecheap
- Sign in to Namecheap.
- Open Domain List and select Manage for your domain.
- Open Advanced DNS and add a CNAME record:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Type | CNAME Record |
| Host | go |
| Value | skrocloak.com |
- Save the DNS record.
Step 3. Verify the domain
Allow time for the DNS change to propagate, then return to Cloaking Domains in Skro and verify the domain.
Troubleshooting
Check that the record uses the correct subdomain and CNAME target. If verification fails immediately after saving, wait for DNS propagation and try again.
