What is it?
An SDK that provides alternative monetization
Spider Proxy Network
Users may join Spider P2P Proxy Network and contribute routing resources when not using their device.
Friendly
Routing only when the user is idle, has at least 60% battery, or is on external power. We prefer to use WiFi. The SDK may use very limited cellular data..
Full transparency
