WireGuard needs both. The identity cost could not be read because the deploy page showed stock status instead of a form. A 2026-10-24 re-read found the plan orderable: six of sixteen locations carry an 'Out of Stock' badge (Melbourne, Auckland, Tokyo jp1, Singapore, Ho Chi Minh, Johannesburg) and the other ten are flagged stock-available. UDP appears nowhere on the homepage, the deploy page or the raw HTML, so a UDP forward is unverified rather than absent. The word 'instant' carries an asterisk with no footnote found. The free container is 64 MiB today, not the 256 MiB the home page advertises; the home page and the deploy page disagree.","extras":{"shape":{"vcpu":1,"ram_gib":0.0625,"disk_gib":2.56,"gpu_class":null,"gpu_count":null},"billing_model":"free","term":"no term stated","m10h_usd":0,"m24h_usd":0,"price_arithmetic":"USD 0: stated free","free_tier_kind":"free container","network_out":{"allow_outbound":true,"allow_inbound_listen":true,"ports":"20 forwarded ports on a shared IPv4; UDP support not stated","static_ip":false,"ipv6":true,"per_session_bytes":null},"session_cap":{"wall_clock_min":null,"idle_reap_s":null,"restart_required":false,"note":"none stated"},"ipv6_prefix":"/64 or /70, per the features list","renewal_usd":"USD 0","renewal_note":"free container; no renewal step is stated","payment_rails":"not read"}},"claims":[{"path":"$.extras.m10h_usd","kind":"price","num":0,"unit":null,"per":"month","currency":"USD","usd":0,"fx_date":null,"parse":"ok"},{"path":"$.extras.m24h_usd","kind":"price","num":0,"unit":null,"per":"month","currency":"USD","usd":0,"fx_date":null,"parse":"ok"},{"path":"$.extras.renewal_usd","kind":"price","num":null,"unit":null,"per":null,"currency":null,"usd":null,"fx_date":null,"parse":"unparsed"},{"path":"$.free_tier.stated","kind":"free-quota","num":256,"unit":"MB","per":null,"currency":null,"usd":null,"fx_date":null,"parse":"ok"},{"path":"$.limits[0].value","kind":"limit:volume-quota","num":200,"unit":"GB","per":null,"currency":null,"usd":null,"fx_date":null,"parse":"ok"},{"path":"$.limits[1].value","kind":"limit:per-ip-shaping","num":null,"unit":null,"per":null,"currency":null,"usd":null,"fx_date":null,"parse":"unparsed"},{"path":"$.limits[2].value","kind":"limit:per-object-cap","num":2.56,"unit":"GB","per":null,"currency":null,"usd":null,"fx_date":null,"parse":"ok"}],"unknown":[["$.identity_cost.kind","identity-defaulted"]],"history":[],"drift":[]}
