What PacketStream publishes about pay
Every figure below is taken from PacketStream's own website (packetstream.io), checked on 27 September 2026. PacketStream names its operator as PacketStream Inc.
PacketStream pays a fixed amount per GB of customer traffic routed through your connection. Its "Share bandwidth" page says you "earn $0.10 for every GB of customer traffic". That figure is before cashout fees.
- →Published rate: $0.10 per GB of customer traffic, before cashout fees (packetstream.io/share-bandwidth)
- →Payout rails: USD via PayPal; 3% PacketStream cashout fee, and PayPal fees may apply (packetstream.io/faq)
- →Minimum payout: $5 (packetstream.io/faq)
- →Platforms: Windows, macOS, Linux; mobile is not supported (packetstream.io/faq)
- →Headless: the Linux client runs through Docker (packetstream.io/share-bandwidth)
- →VPS policy, identity verification, referrals and open-source client: not published
How the PROXIES.SX peer network sets pay
PROXIES.SX does not publish a per-GB payout rate. Rates are set per partner and may be fixed or a share of collected revenue; there is no universal public percentage. The live rate is the earningsPerGB value returned when you register a device.
IP type is classified on the server by ASN. Mobile carrier IPs are the highest tier, residential the middle, and datacenter IPs are rejected for customer listing. Unlike PacketStream, PROXIES.SX supports Android through its SDK.
Registration does not guarantee traffic or earnings. Earnings depend on eligible traffic your devices actually serve and on your active partner terms.
- →Payout settings: native SOL, native BTC and USDC on Solana, in the farmer account; payouts are request-based, so confirm timing with support
- →Minimums: $10 for Android SDK devices and $5 for AI agents through the withdrawal API; manual requests from $0.01 of approved earnings
- →Software: Android SDK (MIT licence), headless Linux Go binary (no Docker needed), Windows Node.js client
- →No supplier referral programme; identity and business verification is being prepared
Which may suit you
PacketStream may suit you if you want a fixed published rate and USD payouts through PayPal, on a desktop or a Linux host.
PROXIES.SX may suit you if you want payout settings in SOL, BTC or USDC on Solana, want to supply from Android, or want a native Linux binary rather than Docker, on a residential or mobile connection.
PacketStream publishes a fixed rate and PROXIES.SX sets rates per partner, so we cannot say which pays more for your devices. For all eight apps side by side, see /alternatives/bandwidth-sharing-apps. For how supplying works, see /earn.
