How to tell it’s the real app.

Other websites and app stores sometimes use our name. Only the Download page in your dashboard gives you the official PacketStream app.

  • The dashboard is at app.packetstream.io. Check the address bar before you log in or download.
  • The files come from client-dl.packetstream.io. The Windows, macOS and Android downloads all come from this address.
  • The Linux command starts with curl -fsSL https://packetstream.io/install.sh. Copy the whole command from your dashboard.
  • The Android app is never on Google Play. Apps on Google Play that use the PacketStream name are not ours.
  • Found a fake? Don’t install it. Tell us at help@packetstream.io.
