Expert Review

Money Making Expert

PacketStream is a legitimate, California-registered company (est. 2018, $70K in funding) that has consistently paid users for 5+ years. Earnings are very modest ($1–$20/month) and PayPal is the only payout method. Some users report account suspensions for suspected multi-IP abuse. Best stacked alongside Honeygain and Pawns.app for diversified passive bandwidth income. Not worth using if you don't have an unlimited home internet plan.

Earning Potential

PacketStream is a passive income platform where users earn $0.10 per GB of internet bandwidth shared. The desktop app (Windows, Mac, Linux only — no mobile) runs silently in the background. Earnings depend on connection speed, uptime, and regional demand. Most users earn $1–$5/month per device; users in high-demand regions (US, UK, Germany) with spare devices left on 24/7 can push earnings to $15–$20/month. Payments processed every Thursday via PayPal only. 3% cashout fee applies.

Tips to Earn More

Run PacketStream on spare desktop/laptop devices (not mobile — no mobile app) left on 24/7 to maximize bandwidth. Use home broadband rather than mobile data. Stack with Honeygain and Pawns.app for diversified passive income (all three can run simultaneously). Avoid running multiple accounts on the same IP address to prevent suspension. Withdraw as soon as $5 is reached to minimize fee impact and verify payout works.
