Project description:
"Hi,

Below are detailed requirements for a project to create a VPN application, initally on Android with potential in future to create the application on other platforms. I am unsure on the maintaince/creation of the VPN servers aswell. A handover would be needed/potentially future maintaince jobs available. (Complete vpn solution)

Core Concept
The app will be free for users but will require them to watch advertisements to earn usage credits. These credits will be used to connect to the VPN service.

Key Functional Features
User Account System
• Sign up/sign in using email, Google, or anonymously via device ID
• Dashboard showing available VPN credits

Ad-Based Credit System
• Credits earned by watching ads (video/interactive)
• Example: 1 minute = 10 credits
• Bonus for interactive/rewarded ads
• VPN usage deducts credits (e.g., 1 credit = 1 minute)

Ad Network Integration
• Integration with platforms like Google AdMob, Unity Ads, etc.
• Support for rewarded videos, interstitial ads, and offerwalls
• Credits only given for full or meaningful interaction

VPN Core Functionality
• One-tap connect/disconnect
• Auto-connect to best or preferred server
• Server location list (regions/countries)
• Show real-time connection status and credit usage

Usage Monitoring
• Track credit earnings and deductions
• Real-time timer during connection

Notifications
• Alerts when credits are low
• Option for daily login rewards and streak bonuses

Non-Functional Requirements
Security & Privacy
• Encrypted VPN
• No tracking or logging of user browsing activity

Performance & Usability
• Fast and lightweight performance
• Simple, user-friendly interface
• Multilingual support

Compliance
• Adheres to COPPA, GDPR, and other relevant policies
• Clear terms for credit/ad usage
• Age gating if required by ad partners

Optional Features (Nice to Have)
Referral/Invite bonus system

Premium (ad-free, unlimited) version

Daily credit earning cap

Unlock faster servers or more locations via ads or premium" (client-provided description)
