Obviously violates every standard “don’t resell the service” clause. ( But these are also the same TOSes that tell me I can’t VPN into the office , so they can pound sand. :p )
Doing this makes about as much sense as running a TOR exit node to me. Too much exposure to someone doing something dumb through you that you’d be left holding the bag for.
Just ran into packetstream.io:
"Sell Your Unused Bandwidth
Earn passive income while you sleep
PacketStream is the first of its kind peer-to-peer proxy network. Packeters are compensated for sharing bandwidth on the PacketStream network and allowing users all over the world have access to content on the internet through our secure network. Customers can purchase bandwidth and browse the web from residential IPs to protect their browsing privacy.
The PacketStream network routes customer traffic through PacketStream users allowing for increased privacy and access to geo-restricted content while browsing the web. Packeters on the PacketStream network share their bandwidth with PacketStream customers. The website/service receiving HTTP requests sees requests coming from real residential IPs and allows access to content that would otherwise be blocked if it had been requested from traditional datacenter VPNs or proxy networks."
How can this not be a violation of the ToS of just about every major provider?
