Per-IP device limits: what providers actually document¶
Research backing devices_per_ip in the catalog (CashPilot-4qv), which drives the
egress-conflict warning. Recorded here because the value is only as good as its
source, and a future contributor needs to see the evidence rather than trust a
number someone once typed.
The rule this table exists to enforce: write a number only where the provider states one. Where they do not, leave the key ABSENT — the preflight then tells the user to check the terms, which is honest. A guessed number tells them something false with full confidence.
Snapshot date: 2026-08-02. These terms change without changelogs; re-check before relying on any row.
Documented by the provider¶
Every row must carry a URL. The one row that did not — spide — is the row that was wrong: it was filed under "no number" while the provider's Terms state a limit of one, in the sentence immediately before the one that was quoted. A reviewer with a link opens the page and sees it; without one, the error survives.
| Service | devices_per_ip | Kind | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| honeygain | 1 | hard limit, enforced | Help centre: "Users may connect 1 device per one IP/Network." Extra devices trigger a Network overused error. https://support.honeygain.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011188779 |
| iproyal (Pawns.app) | 1 | hard limit, in binding Terms | "Pawns.app limits the number of devices per single IP address to one (1)." https://pawns.app/terms-of-use/ |
| spide | 1 | hard limit, in binding Terms | "Spide Network limits the number of devices per single IP address to one." Restrictions also forbid "connect[ing] more than the allowed number of devices". The same paragraph adds that traffic through one IP "will be distributed between devices utilizing the same IP address". https://spide.network/terms-of-use.html |
| earnfm | 1 | help-centre guidance, not a Terms clause | "One Device Per Network: Each device should be connected to a unique IP or network." Phrased as guidance; no device-per-IP clause found in the Terms, so treat enforcement as unproven. https://help.earn.fm/portal/en/kb/articles/do-i-earn-more-if-i-run-earnfm-on-multiple-devices |
| ebesucher | 1 | hard limit | Multi-device is allowed only if "each device ... has to be connected to the Internet through a unique IP address." https://www.ebesucher.com/blog/besuchertausch/multigeraete-funktion |
Documented as sharing, with no number¶
These state that devices behind one IP split one allocation. That is real and
worth warning about, but it is not a device count, so the key stays ABSENT and
the effect belongs in requirements.note.
| Service | What the provider says |
|---|---|
| earnapp | Extra devices on one IP "will get less priority for traffic" and do not increase earnings beyond the per-IP cap. https://help.earnapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/10198969950353 |
| storj | Nodes in the same /24 subnet share allocation (already captured in that file's note). |
(spide was listed here in the first draft. That was wrong — it belongs in the table above. Its Terms state a limit of one; the sharing sentence quoted here sits in the same paragraph as the limit sentence, which was missed.)
Not documented anywhere official¶
bitping, urnetwork, packetstream, proxyrack, repocket.
Two of these have a number that circulates widely and traces to no provider source at all:
- repocket — "2 devices per IP". Repeated across review blogs. Repocket's own
Terms state only a per-ACCOUNT limit ("up to five (5) devices ... and a
maximum of five (5) active sessions"), which is a different thing.
https://repocket.com/terms-and-conditions
The catalog declared
devices_per_ip: 2on that basis; it has been removed. Note the honest limit of this conclusion:help.repocket.comis a dead host andrepocket.com/faq404s, so this is no first-party source found, which is weaker than no first-party source exists. - proxyrack — "2 devices per IP". Same pattern; third-party reviews claim both 1 and 2 and contradict each other. Proxyrack's two device-limit help articles (the newer dated 2026-02-23) mention only a 500-per-account cap. Datacentre IPs are accepted at roughly a tenth of the residential rate. https://help.proxyrack.com/en/articles/6532815
EarnApp prohibits containers outright¶
Verified first-party (help centre, "Can I install EarnApp on Hosting Services, Virtual Machines or Dockers?", updated 2025):
No. Installing EarnApp on Virtual Machines (VMs), Docker containers, or hosting services is strictly prohibited.
Prohibited environments: Virtual Machines (VMs) · Docker containers · Cloud hosting services · Personal or home servers · Any device used for business or monetization purposes.
If our system detects that EarnApp is running in a virtualized or unauthorized environment: your account will be terminated without prior notice, any pending payments will be canceled.
CashPilot deploys every service as a Docker container, so shipping EarnApp
without saying this would make the tool the cause of the ban. It is recorded as
requirements.container_prohibited: true, which the preflight reports as its
strongest verdict. The deploy is still allowed — informed consent, not a block.
No other catalogued service has been found to name containers this way. The flag requires a first-party source and must never be inferred from a residential-IP rule; a test enforces that only sourced services carry it.
VPS / datacenter acceptance¶
| Service | Policy |
|---|---|
| honeygain | Datacentre IP types blocked outright ("Unusable network"); VMs discouraged. |
| earnapp | "Installing EarnApp on Virtual Machines (VMs), Docker containers, or hosting services is strictly prohibited"; DCH IPs blocked. |
| iproyal (Pawns.app) | Residential only; "does not allow the use of any servers, VPNs, or proxy services". |
| spide | Residential only; servers/VPN/proxy not allowed. |
| ebesucher | "Using the surfbar on a virtual server is not allowed." |
| proxyrack | Allowed, but reclassified to a lower datacentre rate. |
| bitping | Allowed; servers and Docker explicitly supported. |
| earnfm | Allowed; datacentre connections are their own uncapped category. |
| repocket | Ambiguous — the ToS VPS clause sits in the fraud/offer-abuse section, so whether it covers bandwidth sharing is unclear. Not resolved. |
| urnetwork, packetstream | No statement found either way. |
