I've Uninstalled Packetstream. Maybe you should too. Possible Issues/conflicts

This post is a precautionary tale about Packetstream. For those that dont know, the Packetsteam app runs on your PC and uses your bandwidth/IP for its clients.

The other day I went to log into my Earnably account and I got an account suspended message. Well I sent a ticket and they responded that my IP had accessed more than 3 different accounts...

Well that came as a surprise to me since I hadnt even logged into my own Earnably account in months. Nothing has changed on my end besides running Packetstream. Another user of packetstream from the beermoney discord said he had the exact same thing happen to him on eloot. And another suspension on earnably has also popped up.

 
When Packetstream announced their program here 4 months ago, this was brought up as a potential issue. And they said they would look into creating a blacklist of sites their clients could not access. 4 months later and it appears protecting us is not their priority.

After a great start, Packetstream was barely earning 1-2 cents a day for me. Definitely not enough to put my other programs in jeopardy. if You are still running it, you might want to consider stopping.
