Feature Tiering Explained

Feature Tiering Explained

EcoVPN features are gated by referral-based access tiers. Your sponsor determines your entry point and unlock path - whether you're a tunnel user, config issuer, or full infrastructure steward.

Tier 1: Encrypted Access

  • Single configuration slot issued by sponsor glyph
  • Default jurisdiction routing - no multi-zone selection
  • Private DNS and basic threat protection active
  • Cannot issue invitations or modify infrastructure

Tier 2: Trusted Operator

  • Multiple config slots - region selection available
  • Can issue Tier 1 invites and manage referral glyphs
  • Access to static IP requests and DNS filter customisation
  • Receives monthly passive scans for dark web monitoring

Tier 3: Infrastructure Steward

  • Full referral dashboard access and audit tools
  • Can revoke or reissue configurations across referral tree
  • Deploy fallback zones and initiate jurisdiction overrides
  • Submit custom blocklists and manage multi-hop logic

How Tiering Works

  • Your sponsor approves elevation - not automated
  • Usage history, uptime, and fingerprint alignment matter
  • Tier 3 access is granted only to users managing infrastructure ethically and at scale

Upgrade Requests

If you’re ready for Tier 2:

  • Contact your sponsor directly
  • Submit uptime screenshot and tunnel history via /client/upgrade.html
  • Wait for approval and slot expansion

“Your referral level isn’t just a feature list, it shows how trusted and capable you’ve become.”
