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.

Why we do this

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.

How it is enforced

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.

Questions
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.
Should my network be on this list?
If you run a sensitive network, such as a government agency, police or emergency service, hospital, utility or financial institution, and it isn't listed, email partnerships@cashraven.io with its ASN or address ranges and who operates it. We review every request and are glad to add networks that belong here.
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.

If you run a sensitive network that should be on this list, we want to hear about it.
