A bandwidth-sharing SDK for apps built for sharing

The PROXIES.SX Android SDK lets an app share a device's connection with the peer network, with the user's consent, and credits the traffic to the publisher's farmer account. It is open source, version 1.3.2, for Android 7.0 and later. Store rules decide where it can ship, so start with the table below.

Registration does not guarantee traffic or earnings. Earnings depend on eligible traffic your devices actually serve and on your active partner terms.

This page covers the Android SDK only, version 1.3.2. The desktop and server peer for Windows and Linux, which also runs on macOS from its Node.js or Go source, is separate software with its own version numbers; its current downloads and checksums are at agents.proxies.sx/peer/.

How it works

Peer traffic pathCustomer application to PROXIES.SX gateway to regional relay, then through an outbound WebSocket to your device, which opens the connection to the destination website.Customer appHTTP or SOCKS5Gatewaygw.proxies.sxRegional relayEU and USYour devicephone, Linux, PCWebsitethe destinationoutbound WebSocketJWT, heartbeat 30 sEach customer session is a tunnel_connect TCP tunnel. HTTPS stays encrypted end to end; plain HTTP does not.
The SDK keeps an outbound WebSocket to a regional relay and opens customer TCP tunnels from the device. It honours relay redirects only to *.proxies.sx.

Questions

What is a bandwidth-sharing SDK?
A library an app includes so that, with the user's consent, the device can carry proxy traffic for a network's customers. The PROXIES.SX Android SDK runs as a foreground service in the host app and links the device to the publisher's farmer account through an API key.
Can I put it in a game or a utility app on Google Play?
Google Play's Device and Network Abuse policy says apps that facilitate proxy services to third parties may only do so where that is the primary, user-facing core purpose of the app. A game or general utility does not meet that. Google has also used Play Protect to warn about and remove apps carrying some proxy SDKs, and it tells consumers to be wary of apps that pay for unused bandwidth, so plan for rejection risk even for an app built for sharing.
Is there an iOS SDK?
Not today. The SDK on this page is for Android only. The desktop and server peer for Windows and Linux, which also runs on macOS from its Node.js or Go source, is separate software with its own version numbers, published at agents.proxies.sx/peer/.
Does the SDK show a consent screen?
No. SDK 1.3.2 ships no consent or disclosure UI. The publisher must build an in-app disclosure and obtain the user's consent before sharing starts; Google Play's prominent disclosure guidance describes what that looks like.
How are publishers paid?
Earnings are credited to the farmer account that owns the API key, at the rate in that account's partner terms; there is no public rate. Registration does not guarantee traffic or earnings. Through the device withdrawal API the minimum for Android SDK devices is $10.00.
How big is it?
The 1.3.2 AAR is 139,110 bytes before dependencies. It depends on OkHttp, Gson, AppCompat, WorkManager, AndroidX Security and NanoHTTPD, so the effect on your APK depends on what you already include.

Building an app whose purpose is sharing?

Create an SDK key in the farmer dashboard, integrate one test build, and check the device registers and is verified before release.
