Knot VPN is a privacy service paid for with Russian bank cards and SBP. Pick your track: a growing lifetime share of every payment, a fixed fee for the first payment plus a cut of renewals, or your own VPN brand on our infrastructure.
Clients keep renewing, the base compounds — and the rev-share tier grows with it. Run your own numbers in the calculator below.
The tracks do not overlap: a partner is on exactly one. Switching is possible on request.

Counted by active paying clients at the moment of calculation, not by everyone you have ever referred.
| Tier | Active paying clients | Rev-share |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0 – 50 | 15% |
| 2 | 51 – 250 | 20% |
| 3 | 251 – 1,000 | 30% |
| 4 | 1,001 – 5,000 | 40% |
| 5 | 5,001 – 10,000 | 45% |
| 6 | 10,001+ | 50% |
The rate is based on how many active paying clients you have today. Cross a tier boundary and accruals switch to the new rate straight away — no waiting for the end of the month.
Only clients who are paying right now count: each day’s accrual uses that day’s rate. If some of them cancel, the base and the rate follow downwards — so the number in your dashboard always reflects reality.
From a channel with a hundred subscribers to industrial-scale media buying.
Recommend the service to your audience with a personal link and a discount promo code. Your subscriber gets a deal, you get a share of every payment they make.
Economics you can plan around: a fixed fee per paying client, reporting on clicks and conversions, ready-made creatives.
Wholesale terms for reselling to your own audience and corporate clients — up to launching a full VPN service under your own brand.
Refer friends without a site or a channel — a link is enough. Joining takes a couple of minutes and there are no volume requirements.
Tracking and promo codes already run in production — no need to take our word for it, the numbers show it.
A short link like knotvpn.net/go/xxxxxxx points wherever you need — the site, the bot or a specific plan. We count clicks and unique visitors, and bots stay out of your stats.
Parameters from the incoming link are stored with the click, so you can split creatives, placements and campaigns and compare them against each other.
A VPN audience often shares one address, and counting by IP would understate your results. We count by a browser marker: changing IP or network does not break your stats.
A personal code for your audience: percentage or fixed amount, expiry date, activation limit, and a first-purchase-only option. A great way to track conversions even where you cannot place a link.
A code can grant free days or extra traffic — perfect for giveaways, contests and rewarding your most active followers.
We see the path from click to money: uniques, trials, payments and revenue. A client is attributed to you on first touch, so their renewals count as yours too.
You do not have to pick just one — these formats combine perfectly well.
A post, a story, a video description or a banner on your site — a click on your link attributes the client to you.
Your follower gets a discount with your code, you get the reward. Works even where links never get clicked.
A review, a setup guide, a mention in an episode. We will help with the facts and check the copy before it goes live.
We will issue codes for free days for your contest — your audience tries the service, you get reach and payments afterwards.
Launch your own brand on our infrastructure: your name, your bot, your pricing. We split the profit fifty-fifty.
Sell access to your audience or your company at your own prices; support and infrastructure stay on us.
A dedicated landing page, a custom plan for your audience, an upfront payment against confirmed volume — discussed case by case.
Instead of promoting someone else’s brand, build your own: your name, your bot, your own set of plans. Servers, billing, updates and payment support stay on our side.
We split net revenue — what remains after payment fees, refunds and chargebacks. Each side pays its own taxes on its own share: taxes depend on the jurisdiction and legal form of each party and are not part of the split.
There is no joining fee: setting up the brand and the bot is on us. What is billed monthly is support — $375, covering your end users and the infrastructure in full.
The name, the Telegram bot, the channel and the support are yours. Clients see your service and talk to you.
You set the plans and the display currency yourself, not only in roubles — the brand works for audiences outside Russia too. The payment methods are chosen for your audience at launch.
Your brand’s clients pay via SBP or in crypto — which works for a Russian audience and an international one alike. Payment processing and refunds stay on our side.
The bot and the service copy are bilingual: the client picks a language on first launch. You can aim the brand at a Russian-speaking audience, an English-speaking one, or both at once.
Your brand’s clients are isolated from ours and from other partners: their own subscriptions, balances and referrals. You own the relationship with them, and we take their support off your hands.
Your own promo codes and a separate slice of statistics for your brand — you see exactly what happens in your service.
Clients, promo codes and pricing for your brand are your call. We apply changes on request, and access to the panel for self-service is opened by arrangement.
Servers, locations, updates and service availability are our job. No need to hire a developer.
Start with no spend on hardware and no setup charge. The only monthly line is support — $375 for looking after your users and the infrastructure.
A corporate client connects a whole team rather than one person. The ticket is higher, churn is lower, and the reward is calculated the same way.
Discuss B2B termsUp to 10 devices per account covers a small department, and for larger teams we will put together a fitting setup.
Pricing, payment and paperwork are agreed per client — from a handful of employees to a distributed team.
A manager joins in: we help pick the configuration, answer the client’s technical questions and take support off your hands.
If you already maintain someone else’s infrastructure, access for their staff is a natural addition to your services.
Drag the slider and compare the models: a fixed fee pays out faster, a revenue share pays more over time.
Average payment per client — $2.5 a month.
A share of every payment a client makes, renewals included. The rate rises with your tier, which is recalculated as the base grows.
An estimate, not an offer: the math uses an average payment and a typical renewal rate. Actual income depends on traffic quality and the plans your clients choose.
Tell us briefly about your platform and audience. We reply within one business day.
We match a track to your traffic: a growing share of payments, a fixed fee for the first payment plus renewals, or your own brand.
A tracking link with click statistics and a discount promo code for your audience. The attribution marker lasts 30 days.
Accruals run daily, with a 14-day hold. Payouts go out on the 1st and the 15th in USDT — the first one from $5.
What matters to a partner is that traffic actually converts. Here is what removes objections for your audience.
A low barrier for your audience — they can try it without paying or entering card details.
Payments go through officially and the client receives a receipt. That makes the service easier to recommend.
Two ways in: some people live in a browser, others in a messenger — both reach checkout.
No crypto wallets or international cards needed — an ordinary user just pays.
One account covers a whole family or team — a bigger ticket and fewer refusals.
People renew month after month. On revenue share that is income which compounds.
A price that is easy to recommend: the decision to buy comes quickly.
Questions about setup and payments are ours to handle — you do not become the first line of support.
No hidden conditions and no rates rewritten after the fact.
Twice a month, for accruals that have cleared the hold.
The first payout starts at $5, so you get real money in your first month. Below the threshold the balance rolls over and never expires.
One method for every partner, whatever the country and the brand currency.
The Russian Central Bank rate on the payout date plus 10% to cover conversion and transfer fees. The rate, the coefficient and the total appear as separate lines on your receipt.
Your reward accrues as the client uses the period they paid for — you see the result daily, not once a month.
How long an accrual waits before it can be withdrawn. If a payment is refunded or charged back, the accrual is zeroed out during the hold — and your balance never goes negative.
Your balance is kept in dollars: every daily accrual is converted at that day’s rate, so the amount does not swing with the exchange rate. Payouts go out in USDT.
Owners of Telegram channels, bloggers, webmasters and media buyers, resellers, and individuals who refer people they know. The Start program has no volume requirements — an application is enough.
A client is attributed to you when they follow your personal link or activate your promo code. The click marker lasts 30 days until sign-up, and once they register the client stays yours permanently — you also earn from their future renewals.
Accruals run daily, as the client uses the period they paid for. If someone buys a year, your reward lands on your balance every day of that year rather than as one lump sum at checkout. Each accrual then waits out a 14-day hold before it becomes available to withdraw.
Payouts go out twice a month, on the 1st and the 15th. The first payout is available from $5, later ones from $10. Withdrawals are made in USDT at the Russian Central Bank rate on the payout date plus 10% to cover conversion and transfer fees; the rate, the coefficient and the total appear as separate lines on your receipt. If the threshold is not reached, the balance rolls over and never expires, and once a year we pay out the remainder in full with no threshold.
Accruals for that payment are zeroed out while they are still in the hold — that is exactly what it is for. Your balance never goes negative: what has already been paid out is not taken back, and we never pay the full amount upfront, so there is nothing to claw back.
Yes. On the Starter track the share applies to every payment a client makes, renewals included, for as long as they stay with the service. On Pro, the lifetime part is 15% of the second and every following payment.
Clicks and unique visitors on your link, trial activations, payments and revenue from renewals. Uniques are counted by a browser marker rather than by IP address: a VPN audience often shares one address and counting by IP would understate your results. Bots are excluded.
Yes — parameters from the incoming link are stored with the click, so you can tag creatives, placements and campaigns separately and compare how they perform.
A promo code works where a link cannot be placed or does not get clicked: in a video, a podcast, print advertising or a live talk. It is also a benefit for your audience — a discount lifts conversion. The code can carry a percentage or a fixed discount, with limits on validity period and number of activations, including first purchase only.
Yes: copy, banners and creatives tailored to your platform, plus a discount promo code for your audience. For larger partners we prepare materials individually.
Yes. You get a separate service on top of our infrastructure: your own name, your Telegram bot, your channel and support, your own set of plans, your subscription domain. The service is bilingual — Russian and English, with the client choosing the language — so the brand can target an international audience too. Your brand’s clients are isolated from ours and from other partners’ clients. We split net revenue 50/50 — that is what remains after payment fees, refunds and chargebacks. Each side pays its own taxes on its own share.
An audience or an acquisition channel, and a name for the future service. You do not need to rent servers or hire a developer: the technical side, payment processing and updates stay with us. We set up the brand and the bot, and you get a working service.
The decisions about your brand are yours: which plans and prices, which promo codes, what to do about a particular client. We apply settings on your request — usually the same business day — and access to the panel for self-service is opened by arrangement. The technical side — servers, payment processing, updates — stays with us in any case.
There is no joining fee — setting up the brand and the bot is on us. What is billed monthly is support: $375 a month, covering full support for your end users and the infrastructure. Everything else is the fifty-fifty split of net revenue.
No — the tracks do not combine, a partner is on exactly one. While your own-brand agreement is active you cannot refer users to the main Knot bot: otherwise the same user would be counted twice, both in your share of the brand’s profit and in referral accruals.
Yes. Corporate clients connect a whole team, so the ticket is higher and churn is lower. Pricing, payment and paperwork are agreed per deal, and a manager helps run the negotiation and handles the client’s technical questions.
No spam mailings, no bot-driven or incentivised traffic, no advertising on behalf of the service without approval, and no paid search on our brand keywords. Everything else is open to discussion.
Automatically: the rate is recalculated every day from the number of active paying clients on that day. Cross a tier boundary and accruals switch to the new rate straight away. If some clients cancel and the base shrinks, the rate follows it down in the same way — you are always paid on your current base, so the dashboard shows the real picture rather than a month-old figure.
We reply within one business day, propose terms and send your link with a promo code.
