  • Verify all nodes under the "My Network" section of the dashboard.

Node Repair and Management

  1. Restart a Node (if issues occur):

    cd ubuntu-node/
./manager.sh down
./manager.sh up
./manager.sh key

  2. Reconnect After Server Downtime:

    • Find the server in mRemoteNG and restart it using the same commands above.

User Registration and Account Password Recovery

  • For user registration, start by clicking “Register here”

    Provide your information by filling out the required fields, including your email address, and password, and referral code (if applies) on the registration page.

  • For account password recovery

    If you forget your password, navigate to the login page and click on the “Forget/Change Password” option.

    You’ll be prompted to enter your email address, and will receive a verification code.

    Put in the code to set a new password.

    Once your password is successfully reset, you can log in to your account using the new password.

Credits Regulation

By sharing your bandwidth, you’re playing a pivotal role in the collective success of our community. That’s why we go the extra mile to show our appreciation for your efforts. We offer a variety of rewards and incentives to users who actively participate in bandwidth sharing. From credits that can be redeemed for various benefits to exclusive discounts and other perks, we ensure that your contributions are recognized and rewarded.

  • Users can earn credits through various activities, such as referring new users and sharing your bandwidth

Referral Process and Invitation Code

  • Background

    Many people with internet-connected devices are unknowingly sharing their unused bandwidth with proxy companies, who are selling this access and keeping all the profits for themselves. Network3 plans to disrupt the industry by creating a new proxy network where everyone who owns a device connected to the internet can be paid directly by proxy users for access to their unused bandwidth.

  • What are NetWork3 credits?

    Network3 credits serve a specific purpose as a native digital currency within a particular network or platform. Anyone can join the network as a node, use VPN services, or engage in community to earn credits.

  • Where to use Network3 credits?

    Credits can also be used to pay for the Network3 VPN service. Instead of paying for a regular VPN service within the Network3 ecosystem, you can use credits to pay people around the world when you connect to their IP address using Network3 VPN.

  • How to earn Network3 credits?

    When you use Network3 as Node Runners

    • Scenario 1: when you provide a VPN service to users.

      Credit earnings are based on your region, the amount of bandwidth and time you can contribute to the network. The more users who connect to your stable node, the higher your earning potential.

      You can invite new users to join the platform by clicking the “Copy Referral Link” on your dashboard to share a unique referral link with your friends or contacts. When a new user signs up using this link or code, it is a successful referral.

    • User A clicks the Copy Referral Link.

    • User B pastes the Referral Link to any browser. A sign up webpage comes out with the referral code automatically refilled.

    • User B fills in Email address and Password information to create a new Network3 account. Click Register to redirect to the status dashboard.

    • User A got referrals refreshed.
