Legit PayPal Payment, but late transfer of funds.

Recently I cashed out my PacketStream funds but it was too late for me to get my funds in my PayPal. It took roughly 1 week to get my money on the PayPal.
Other than this, my experience has been great.
Thanks to the PacketStream team,
Rafi.

They're quick to responses by the team

I have to say the support team are very responsive and assisted me when I inquired about the payment request.

The only suggest I would say is have note in the email to advise that payments are only processed on Fridays.

I would recommend this to anyone looking to make a little extra.

Don't bother with these scammer/thieves

Don't bother with this. I run 5 different bandwidth streaming apps without issue. One day I noticed this app was just loading white, I couldn't access the dashboard getting HTTP 500 error. I only noticed this after running for a couple months on my NAS and remembering about these apps. I logged into the others fine and cashed out around $30 all up. I contacted packet stream and got an unrelated generic spiel response about multiple devices 1 ip etc etc. and they haven't responded since. I only run these apps on my Windows 10 (now 11) based NAS as thats the only machine on 24/7 so I know thats just a lie they use to ban you once you have earned too much.

*Edit 25.1.24

I believe all the 5 star reviews here to be fake. Packetstream has been trying to have my review removed since I first posted and failed everytime as I have windows logs from it running alongside emails ignored by packetstream regarding their theft of my bandwidth and power. I am glad trustpilot will allow you to verify your review before removing it however I believe they should allow more than 48h to do so as I almost missed the email.

Bans without cause, zero support

I used this service for several months. They ask that you not use two devices on the same network, and I never did. Started making a decent amount of money and went to cash out one week, only to find the dashboard not loading - no errors or anything. I figured it might just be down or something, but their main website was up. Kept running the app for a few weeks, thinking it was a bug, but still broken. I checked reddit, and this is apparently what happens when they ban your account.
They never informed me of the ban or the reason why, and they have not responded to 2-3 emails I've sent them. I'm sure my account has a balance, but I can't cash out because they don't do it automatically, and won't respond.

Edit: Dec 15, 2023
Packetstream flagged my review as they didn't feel that it was genuine. I provided my account details to them - still have never heard from them directly.

Edit: Jan 18, 2024
Packetstream AGAIN flagged my review as they didn't feel that it was genuine. I have again provided proof to TrustPilot that it was a genuine experience.
It seems clear that Packetstream is still refusing to support their product and is now maliciously flagging negative reviews.

Scam, don't use it!!!

Edited: Since I've researched what's happening with packetstream in the meantime, I can tell you that you might get paid once and something small, maybe $5 with a note to go to Trustpilot and enter a positive comment and get $1. Consider whether you or your equipment is worth this much. This is the last you will see of them. I have sampled the traffic they generate on the computer, you can be sure they have become sub-providers and are selling your net to others who may have objectionable content. It will create a lot more network traffic that will never be paid for, to you, but will to them. Based on this, I can conclude that they want to make money that way until the users understand, ie. until complete shutdown. I mean this because:
1. They will never respond to mail, especially if you left a positive comment for $1 on Trustpilot,
2. On January 15, Black Hat World asked them questions to which they are looking for answers, otherwise it will put them on the Sh** Lister and permanently ban them. Of course they never answered.

There are more things, but this is enough to bypass them, don't waste your time and most importantly save the content that their app is trying to send. Even without closing the ports, Bitdefender will notify you about it. Users who use cryptocurrency wallets on the same computer are particularly vulnerable here.
Everyone, like me, can no longer access the dashboard with the error "http error 500". And there is no answer.
So don't fall for a few bucks, you'll leave them the equipment to make money until you realize they'll never pay you.
As I mentioned earlier, all positive comments are forced in email:

"After leaving a review email packetstream with a screenshot of your review and your PacketStream username and we'll add a $1 credit to your account within 72 hours."

Very Fast Earning and Payout

I downloaded Packetstream 4 days ago, and within 3 days, I have already made $5. I also use other apps like Honeygain, but this one has the fastest earning. The payout is very easy, and it arrived in a day. I've seen posts about suspicious activity with Packetstream, but I've experienced none of that. Highly recommend!
