URnetwork¶
Category: Bandwidth Sharing | Status: Active Website: https://ur.io
Description¶
URnetwork is a decentralized VPN and bandwidth-sharing network. You earn by providing bandwidth as a community provider. The provider container authenticates itself with your account email and password (the binary's auth-provide subcommand), stores the session JWT in the urnetwork-data volume, and starts providing — no manual token extraction involved.

Setup Instructions¶
1. Create an account¶
Sign up at URnetwork.
2. Get your credentials¶
The provider logs in with your normal URnetwork account: the email and password you use at ur.io. If you created the account with Google or Apple sign-in, set a password on it first — the headless provider has no browser to run an SSO flow in.
3. Deploy with CashPilot¶
In the CashPilot web UI, find URnetwork in the service catalog and click Deploy. Enter your email and password; the provider authenticates on first start (Jwt written to /root/.urnetwork/jwt in its log), keeps the session in the urnetwork-data volume, and starts providing.
Your provider stats and earnings live at app.ur.network/stats. Link a wallet in the URnetwork app — an unlinked wallet forfeits payouts after 30 days.
Deployed URnetwork before and it never earned anything? CashPilot releases before this fix asked for a
UR_AUTH_TOKENvariable that the provider binary has never read — the container simply ran unauthenticated (issue #344). Upgrade CashPilot, then Deploy URnetwork again from the catalog with your email and password.
