Why Are VPNs and Bots Strictly Prohibited?

VieFaucet strictly prohibits the use of VPNs, proxies, Tor, and automated bots. This isn't arbitrary — these restrictions are essential to keeping VieFaucet fair, sustainable, and rewarding for honest users like you.

The Problem with Bots

A single bot can simulate hundreds or thousands of faucet claims per hour — far exceeding what any human could do. If bots were allowed:

  • The faucet reward pool would be drained within hours
  • Legitimate users would receive far less or nothing
  • Advertisers would get zero real human traffic, killing the revenue model
  • VieFaucet would shut down, harming the entire community

Bots essentially steal from every other honest user on the platform.

The Problem with VPNs

VPNs are used primarily to:

  • Hide multiple accounts operating from the same IP address
  • Bypass geographic restrictions
  • Make bot traffic appear to come from different locations

While some users use VPNs for legitimate privacy reasons, the overwhelming majority of VPN usage on faucets is for fraud. Our system cannot distinguish intent — so all VPN usage is prohibited to protect the community.

What Happens if You're Caught?

  • Your account will be permanently banned
  • All pending earnings will be forfeited
  • Your IP address will be blacklisted
  • Associated accounts may also be banned

How We Detect Violations

Our multi-layered detection system identifies:

  • Known VPN and proxy IP ranges
  • Claim patterns that are impossible for humans (millisecond precision, 24/7 activity)
  • Browser fingerprinting anomalies
  • Multiple accounts sharing identical device or browser signatures

How to Stay Compliant

  • Claim manually from your real home or mobile internet connection
  • One account per person, per household
  • Never use any automation tools or browser extensions that auto-click
