Every residential device opted in, we know every paying customer, and risky sites are blocked for everyone. [Start free trial](https://app.rayobyte.com/auth/register) ## Every residential IP comes from a person who opted in. Device owners choose to share, can stop at any time, and share only their IP address and bandwidth. 1. **A person installs an app**: A game or utility they get free, or an app that pays for sharing, built with the Cash Raven SDK. 2. **They opt in**: Sharing starts only after they accept a clear consent screen. 3. **They can leave any time**: Every app ships a visible opt-out. 4. **Risky targets are blocked**: Our block list covers every device, and unusual use triggers ID checks.

([Law enforcement inquiries](https://rayobyte.com/law-enforcement-inquiries/)) ## Protections against misuse are built into every device. - **Dangerous ports are blocked**: No device will connect to remote shells (SSH, Telnet, RDP and VNC), Windows file sharing, databases, directory services, Android debugging or admin and debug ports. - **Home networks are off limits**: A device never connects to its owner’s local network, its own loopback address or cloud metadata addresses. - **The rules can only get stricter**: The block list is compiled into the software and enforced both on our relay servers and on the device. It can be tightened remotely but never loosened. - **Every refusal is logged**: Each blocked connection is logged with its destination, and those logs feed our abuse monitoring. - **Sanctioned territories are excluded**: The network does not accept devices in sanctioned territories. - **Proxy traffic stays encrypted**: HTTPS and SOCKS5 traffic through our proxies passes as a raw tunnel that we never decrypt. Web Unblocker and the Scraping API work differently: they fetch the page for you, so they terminate TLS to do it.

From people who opted in on a consent screen, in the [Cash Raven](https://cashraven.io/) app or in a partner app built with its SDK. Nothing is shared until they agree. They share only their IP address and bandwidth, never files, accounts or browsing history, inside daily and monthly data limits, and one switch stops sharing at once. ### How are device owners paid? People who run the Cash Raven app earn credits and cash them out from the app. People who share through a partner app are not paid in cash: they get the app free, or without ads. ### How do you verify customers? We know every paying customer. Scale Residential is sold to verified businesses after a compliance review, and unusual use triggers ID checks on any account. ### Which sites are blocked? Banks, government, login pages and reported sites are blocked for every customer. ### How fast do you act on abuse reports? Every abuse report gets action within one business day.
