Three defense layers
DubixGuard runs three independent layers. Layer A (hot-path) works at full capacity before Standard API approval; Layers B–C scale with OAuth and API quota.
- Layer A — Hot-path: fingerprint, IP, behavior under ~50 ms; instant 403
- Layer B — Async recon: gclid click_view reconciliation, Pure Ghost detection
- Layer C — Ads actions: IP exclusion, demographics, optional campaign pause
How it works
Active protection in five steps:
- 1. Add the DubixGuard snippet
- 2. Connect Google Ads with OAuth
- 3. Landing beacon + interaction tracking start automatically
- 4. Suspicious clicks are blocked on the hot path
- 5. Fraud IPs sync to Google Ads exclusion lists
Threats covered
- Bot and headless browser traffic
- Datacenter IP clicks
- Competitor click fraud
- gclid replay and parameter campaign attacks
- Ghost clicks (Ads click with no site landing)
- Campaign ID spoofing via utm_campaign
- Mobile-emulation attacks (mobile-only defense)
Pure Ghost detection
When Google Ads records a click but no landing beacon hits your site, reconciliation surfaces that gap — clicks that never reached your pages. That visibility is part of a complete Google Ads click guard stack.
