University library Wi‑Fi earn etiquette (Europe 2026)

Updated 3 min read

Campus and public library Wi‑Fi is built for study — not residential proxy farms. RefDeal sets a calm etiquette + ToS map so coffee-money earn apps do not burn your student account or the shared IP everyone else needs.

Tip: signup buttons may use invite links. You still join the official app or service — earnings for you depend on each company’s terms.

Shared IP, shared consequences

Library and university SSIDs usually sit behind CGNAT or large NAT pools. One noisy earn client can paint the whole subnet as low-quality residential — hurting classmates’ browsing and your own future dashboards.

Acceptable Use Policies often ban commercial traffic, servers, and bandwidth resale. That language catches continuous earn clients even if you “only leave it for an hour between lectures.”

Join library SSID → read AUP / captive portal → commercial/proxy banned? → keep earn off → Studying only → earn at home later.

Etiquette checklist (EU campus / library)

If the librarian can hear your laptop thrash while “idle earning,” you already failed the etiquette test.

  • Screenshot captive-portal / IT AUP before installing any earner
  • No overnight stacks on library power strips — heat + fairness — exam-laptop-heat-vs-overnight-earn-2026
  • No full-tunnel VPN “to hide earn traffic” on campus — vpn-split-tunnel-vs-earn-app-bans-europe-2026
  • Headphones and silence still win — earn CPU fans on a quiet floor are antisocial
  • Exam weeks: pause like exam-week-pause-earn-apps-2026 — focus > GB
  • Dorm kitchen Wi‑Fi etiquette differs from library policy — shared-kitchen-wifi-etiquette-earn-apps-2026

Tonight

If an earn client is running on campus/library Wi‑Fi now: quit it, note the SSID in your log, and only restart on a network whose AUP you already cleared. Hub: /guides/eu-regional/. Start: /en/start/.

FAQ

Is library Wi‑Fi ever OK for earn apps?

Only if the written AUP clearly allows commercial bandwidth sharing — rare. When unsure, keep earn off.

Guest Wi‑Fi vs eduroam?

Both are usually institutional. Same AUP habit: read first, earn elsewhere by default.

Phone earn on library Wi‑Fi while I study?

Still shares the institutional IP reputation. Prefer pausing until home Wi‑Fi.
