Sharing Internet Connection - The Best Providers

Upfront: You won't get rich with this. Those who push it to the limit, install multiple apps and use their computer many hours a day, might earn around €50 per month. At least this income source is truly 100% passive. I tested all major providers that pay for sharing your internet connection for a month and ran them around the clock on my laptop and smartphone (mobile data) and summarized the results for you here. This test refers to Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Other countries may vary.

What do the apps do with my internet connection?

When sharing bandwidth, you make part of your internet connection available through an app and receive small compensation in return. Services like Honeygain use the connection for market research and price comparisons, while PacketStream uses your connection as a proxy, for example to anonymously test websites from different countries. The apps run discreetly in the background while you can continue surfing normally.
