Access Tiers Explained

EcoVPN infrastructure is segmented by access Tier. These aren’t user roles, they’re encrypted trust levels determined by glyph lineage, audit signals, and sponsor behavior. Tier elevation is earned, not requested.

Tier Breakdown

Tier 0: No tunnel access - placeholder for expired or revoked glyphs
Tier 1: Standard tunnel access - node visibility, EcoNode routing
Tier 2: Referral privileges - jurisdictional routing, dedicated IP eligibility
Tier 3: Infrastructure telemetry - config slot provisioning, dark signal alerts

How Tiers Are Assigned

Encoded within glyph metadata upon initial onboarding
Determined by sponsor lineage and signal integrity
Subject to silent audit and entropy monitoring
Cannot be requested via dashboard - manual path only

Privileges Per Tier

Tier 1: Access to EcoVPN client and standard endpoint pool
Tier 2: Dual-zone configs, DNS overrides, manual glyph issuing
Tier 3: Deployment diagnostics, referral lineage pairing, revalidation telemetry

Downgrades & Expiry

Tier 2 or 3 may be silently downgraded if entropy collapse is detected
Tier 0 glyphs may be reactivated via sponsor-side revalidation
Expiry linked to sponsor trust status and not direct user activity

Best Practices

Verify your Tier via Profile → Access Level in the EcoVPN dashboard
Use encrypted voice contact to request Tier review or lineage correction
Do not cross-tier deploy config files without sponsor validation

“Your Tier isn’t your status, it’s your signal lineage inside encrypted trust.”
