Sensitive networks stay off our network.
We run an ethical residential network, and part of that is knowing where traffic should never come from. Devices on government, military, law enforcement, critical infrastructure, healthcare and financial networks are kept out, for every app, so no one can use Cash Raven to look like they are inside one. The full list is below.
An address on one of these networks speaks for the organization behind it. Leaving them out means nobody can use our network to pose as a government, a hospital or a bank.
It is one of several rules in our ethics and safety policy.
Always the list in force, refreshed every few minutes. If you run a network and want to keep bandwidth-sharing traffic off it, you are welcome to use ours.
The list is enforced on our servers, not in the app, so it applies to every app on every platform. A device on a listed network carries no traffic and earns its app nothing while it is there.

- Is this enforced in the SDK?
- No, and on purpose. It is enforced on our servers, where it cannot be patched out of an app, and it applies the moment we update the list, to every app on every platform, with no SDK release.
- How do you decide what a network is?
- By its Autonomous System Number (ASN) and the address ranges registered to it, using regional internet registry data and a commercial IP database. We also block specific address ranges where a sensitive network shares an ASN with others. The category shown is our classification of the network's registered operator.
- My network is listed and it shouldn't be.
- Tell us at partnerships@cashraven.io with the ASN or range and who operates it. Some public utilities also sell home broadband, and we would rather review a mistake than keep it.
- I'm a developer. What does this mean for my app?
- Nothing changes in your integration. A device on a listed network doesn't share while it is there, and isn't counted toward your active users. Everyone else is unaffected.
See something we missed? Tell us.
If a sensitive network should be on this list, or one is on it by mistake, we want to hear about it.
