If you have a VPS (Virtual Private Server), you can use PacketSDK to start earning passive income, provided you meet PacketSDK’s qualified device requirements. Below is a detailed step-by-step guide and important notes.
You can also increase your income by referring other VPS users or app developers:
Find your referral link in the console under the “Referral” section.
1. Register and Create an AppKey
- Contact support to register an account at support@packetsdk.com
- Create an app suitable for your system type (e.g., Linux) and generate an AppKey.
2. Deploy PacketSDK on Your VPS
Method 1: Use the official install script (for Ubuntu / Debian / CentOS)
ReplaceYOUR_APP_KEY with the AppKey you created.Method 2: Run PacketSDK in the background (to keep running after closing SSH)
bash
Code:
nohup ./packetsdk-linux -k YOUR_APP_KEY > sdk.log 2>&1 &
3. Meet the Earning Requirements
PacketSDK charges based on device active time and IP usage rate, with the following requirements:| Condition | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Online Duration | Keep your VPS online for at least 12 hours per day |
| Qualified IP | Use residential or trusted VPS provider IPs (avoid low-quality IPs) |
| Usage Rate (Trusted) | PacketSDK calculates your IP consumption to assess usage rate |
| No Proxy/Firewall | Don’t block SDK connections or traffic forwarding |
4. Check Earnings and Data
Log in to the PacketSDK console:
- Select your app to view daily active devices and Trusted usage rate
- Earnings are settled daily after UTC time.
Useful Tips:
- Avoid cheap VPS providers: Many have poor IP quality and low usage rates, leading to unstable income.
- Deploy in multiple regions: Consider VPSs in countries with higher earnings potential, such as Vietnam, Turkey, Philippines, etc.
- Use clean native OS environments: Ensure your VPS IPs are not blacklisted or polluted.
- One VPS counts as one device: To increase income, use multiple VPS instances or participate in the referral program.
