Every IP in our network comes from a real person who actively agreed to share their bandwidth — in plain language, with no pre-checked boxes and a clear way out at any time.
Our four opt-in principles
Consent flow
The network partner follows a strict process before any device ever routes a byte of traffic.
Before installation, the user sees a full explanation of what the software does, how their bandwidth is used, and what they receive in exchange — written in everyday language without technical jargon or hidden clauses.
The user takes a deliberate action — clicking "Agree" or selecting a checkbox. No option is pre-checked. Consent is specific to the network participation and cannot be bundled with other agreements.
The opt-in action is recorded and securely logged. This audit trail demonstrates compliance in case of legal or regulatory review.
Only after a verified opt-in does the device begin routing traffic. Step-by-step installation guidance and clear progress indicators ensure the user knows exactly what is happening at each stage.
Instructions for opting out or uninstalling are straightforward and readily accessible at any time. Once removed, all network configurations are fully cleared with no residual effects on the user's system.
