• Consent-based, allow-listed IP pools with consistent session behavior
• Transparent sourcing proof and opt-in renewal
• Project-level domain allow/deny controls
• Clear privacy and data handling practices
• Instant, no-lock-in termination
• Public, verifiable feedback instead of slogans
• Direct support through real channels such as Telegram
