Title: Monetizing VPN traffic?
Post by: BitBustah on July 31, 2016, 10:08:39 AM
Hi,


I'm blocking VPN traffic on server level.. I was wondering; Is there a way to monetize VPN traffic?
Perhaps I can redirect them to a service that pays bitcoins or something?

All help is appreciated. Thanks.


Dave

maybe redirect them to fill some survey,it's kind of easy money,but i don't think a VPN traffic would gives you reward that much because vpn traffic considered as low quality traffic,but any kind of pop ads seems could help you a little bit to gain more profit
but still beware of being accussed providing fake traffic

Thanks for the reply. That's why I'm looking for a host that accepts VPN traffic.

Bitcointalk uses "units of evil" when someone registers from a VPN/TOR-address. It then asks for a payment in Bitcoin to be able to register.
You could do this too: instead of blocking the traffic, throw up a financial barrier to allow the user to access the site anyway.

That is quite a weird question to ask. It's no different from regular traffic. How would you know it's a vpn anyway ? You won' know. My IP changes since we have dynamic addresses not static. I also use a dns , I need it for hulu and netflix. But a dns is different from a vpn. But you can monetize it the same way as regular traffic there really is no difference unless you running vpn and proxy to abuse the system.
