I’ve been using Honeygain for the last 3 months, and what I have found is very interesting. I can say that it is really a non invasive passive income, if you limit your contribution to share the internet that you’re not using, although it’s difficult to earn money fast, it is possible. You could maximize it’s potential in different ways, that could make all this process faster.
If you read the next lines, you can see how it was for me and how much money I won using this app, and how I did it so you can optimize your system better than I did.
1. What is Honeygain?
Honeygain.com is a company that started in 2018 and opened to the public in 2020 that has a very simple offer to make you. If you have available Internet bandwidth you can earn extra money sharing it with them through their app and they will reward you for doing it.
As they say on their website, their goal is to build the biggest crowd shared residential proxy network in the world, and they are willing to reward everyone for helping them build it.
This app is present in more than 50 countries around the world and works very well for people who have an unlimited data plan and don’t use it much, that way the unused traffic can be shared with the Honeygain app behind the scenes.
2. How do Honeygain Works?
Just as its creators stipulate, they use your unused internet to create a crowd shared proxy network. A proxy network is a middle man between a computer and the internet, which is not the same as a firewall whose task is to block a threat. In this case, this middle man provides security, privacy and improves the network performance (among other features), making the network more secure.
With this proxy network, Honeygain provides a better network solution to companies that have used online surveys, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), ADS verification, web statics, brand and copyright protection.
2.1 You download, you install, you use.
The use of Honeygain is very simple, you have to sign-up with them by using your e-mail, Google or Facebook account, and this process takes up to 3-5 minutes on average.
VERY IMPORTANT: USE AN INVITATION FOR THE SIGNUP
Every invitation that you use is a Win-Win situation. For you, you receive $5,00 as a Signup bonus, and the person that is giving you the invitation is earning a 10% extra for your earnings.
If you don’t use an invitation, you will receive $5,00 extra, neither the invitation of the 10%; after that, you have to choose your software platform, depending on the operative system of all the devices that you will use (In my case I am using the Linux version, and two android versions in my TV and cell phone, whose installation information I obtained from this page.) and install the software in those devices.
In case you want to help yourself and me in the process, This is my Link that will give you $5,00 to start with

4. How much can you earn using Honeygain?
[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”11px”][vc_column_text]
Honeygain has three different ways that could be used to earn money, these are default network sharing, content delivery and referrals.
We have to have in mind that not all of them are available in every country, as it depends on the contracts that Honeygain has with their clients in different territories.
4.1 Default Network Sharing
This is their main service, Default Network Sharing will pay you based on the amount of data that you share with Honeygain clients. Every time that you share data you generate credits that are redeemable for us dollars or bitcoin. This credit scheme is the following:
DATA SHARED | CREDITS | MONEY |
10 MB | 1 Credit | $ 0,01 |
10 GB | 100 Credits | $1,00 |
2000 GB | 20,000 Credits | $20,00 |
4.2 Content Delivery
Another way of earning money with Honeygain is content delivery, this option pays you by helping Honeygain clients transfer large files such as videos, audios and streaming content.
There are some requirements that you have to comply with to be able to earn money with this option:
You need to have fast internet (at least 10+ Mbps of network speed).
At the moment, this option is only available for Windows and macOS
As said before, you need at least a connection of 10 Mbps or more of network speed.
It’s available in 40 territories around the world
Countries Where Content Delivery Is Available | |||

Belgium | Greece | New Zealand | Spain |
Brazil | Hong Kong | Norway | Sweden |
Canada | Hungary | Poland | Switzerland |
China | India | Philippines | Taiwan |
Colombia | Ireland | Portugal | Turkey |
Czech Republic | Italy | Romania | United Kingdom |
4.3 Honeygain Referrals
The referrals are a win-win situation for everyone, it’s a way of earning money where if you refer someone to start using Honeygain with your custom link, that person will be awarded 500 credits (equivalent to $5,00), and at the same time, you will be awarded a 10% of that person’s earnings every time they use the Honeygain app.
4.4 The Lucky Pot
This is the easiest way to earn money in Honeygain, by entering into a simple chance to win a random amount of free extra credits. In this case, all you need to do is to open the Honeygain app, click on the honeypot add and you’re participating. Most of the time the amount of credits is 10 or 20 credits (I used to gain a lot of 50 credits, but I haven’t seen those in a while)
There are two rules to participate in this Lucky Pot chance:
- Only if you are an Active User of Honeygain participate in the Lucky Pot game. (An Active User is any user who has generated a considerable amount of Shared Traffic during the previous calendar day)
- Each Active User can only participate in the Lucky Pot game once in a single calendar day. (if you didn’t participate one day you won’t get two chances the next day)
4.5 Contest on Social Media
Now and Then, the Honeygain team makes the promotion of their app solution on their social media accounts (mostly on Facebook), so they ask you to share their promotions, or like, comment on their publications and they give away some credits as well.
Well, this depends on how engaged you want to be with their solution in their social media.

5. How to Maximize your gains?
[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”11px”][vc_column_text]
Earning money in Honeygain is easy, earning a lot of money is not, and as you’re starting you’re not going to be able to withdraw your money not until you earn the equivalent to $20,00 and this depends on different factors including:
- Your Internet speed
- The country and area where you live
- Demand from Honeygain clients
- The number of Honeygain Internet connections you use.
- Amount of Data Honeygain is allowed to use.
- If you remember to play the Lucky Pot every day.

6. What is the biggest concern of this app?
[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”11px”][vc_column_text]
Is it Secure?
The biggest concern is the fact that you are letting someone share your information, data, unused internet in the background. Will Honeygain sell this information to the highest bidder? And by the way Who is Honeygain selling this information?
According to Honeygain, they are selling your traffic to trusted partners such as companies in the Fortune 500 or data scientists.
All connections are encrypted and they don’t have access to your personal information beyond what is necessary for the service. (email address, IP Address and your chosen payment method)
Will it slow down my internet?
Well, that depends on the amount of data that you are sharing.
There was this time when I decided that I wanted to turn on the maximum amount of devices connected to Honeygain to share the most amount possible, it took me an hour to realize I was giving them my entire data. (Wife and daughter were yelling at me because they couldn’t watch youtube).
In that case, I was using:
- 2 Android TVs
- Windows PC
- Android Phone
In a conclusion, It will slow down your internet if you share in multiple devices, but if you use it on a couple of devices, it will not affect you at all.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”1282″ img_size=”large” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”21px”][vc_column_text]
7. Pros & Cons
[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”11px”][vc_column_text]As a summary I present a comparative table of the pros and cons of this app:
PROS | CONS |
Easy way of Payment, you could be paid by Paypal or Bitcoin | The Payment threshold is high for the low earning velocity. |
It’s truly a passive way of earning money | There are fees to cash out. |
It is Available Globally | Content Delivery is not available globally. |
If you have a great list of friends and Family you could use their contacts to earn more. | If you don’t have that many friends it’s difficult to speed up the earnings. |

8. Conclusion
[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”11px”][vc_column_text]After three months of using Honeygain, I have to say that it is one of those solutions that are too good to be true.
It works as a passive Income solution, there is no question about it, but if you don’t set it in a big number of devices, work with people to make them join this app through your link, get the daily Honeypot, it will probably take you a huge time to make money out of this, even to take out the initial $20, will take you a lot of time.
I know there are better options out there, like IP Royal which I’ve heard gives more money in less time and doesn’t charge for withdrawing money.
Probably it will be the next review.
