Free tier	Eligible active accounts can contribute USD 12.50 with a /64 transport prefix or USD 20 with a /80 transport prefix for an additional routed /48. unit mixed; metered on unstated
Price	USD 0
Per-object cap	not applicable
Retention	not applicable
Egress	no traffic allowance is published on the home, request or policy page; ingress: tcp+udp free_allowance: none published
Identity	email 'IPv6 tunnel requests must be submitted through the official form. Review time is typically 1-24 hours. Accurate contact details and technical information are required for provisioning.'
Limits	write-gated requests are reviewed by the 6Project team, typically 1-24 hours, before a tunnel is provisioned source retention-clamped prefixes are issued with annual validity and must be renewed before expiry, with only a short grace period source write-gated review 1 to 24 hours, up to 72 at peak source
Binding	write-gated A person reviews each request before anything is provisioned, so that gate is reached before any byte is transferred and it is what fails first at 1 TiB/month. Renewal is the second gate: a prefix that is not renewed annually is removed after a short grace period.
Interface	cli 'A user chooses a tunnel type, selects the preferred PoP, provides the technical information needed for provisioning'
Tooling	OpenVPN, wireguard-tools, or a plain 6in4/GRE/IPIP interface
Composes with	the review gate makes it a slow path to the same result a self-service broker gives in a minute; it is worth it only for the /48 or for the BGP option.
Reliability	'The tunnel broker operates on a best-effort basis with no guaranteed SLA'; abuse can lead to throttling, suspension or removal.
Notes	The two third-party lists disagree with each other and with the policy page on what is free: tunnelbroker.services says a /64 costs EUR 11.50/year, handwiki says a ::/128 costs EUR 1.50 once and a /80 EUR 5.50 once, and the policy page speaks of /64 and /80 accounts as things that already exist when a /48 is bought. A free routed prefix is therefore not established. AS208753, PoPs in Milan, Frankfurt, Vienna, Bradford, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Wuhan. The routed /48 is USD 12.50 with a /64 transport or USD 20 with a /80, and adds 365 days to the account. No page read publishes a bandwidth figure, so the 1 TiB question is open. The homepage read returned a server-rendered SEO fallback, not the React application; the policies page carried the substance. Re-read 2026-10-23: BGP is available at most locations, and the policies page carries the same sentence as the homepage.
Evidence rung	reported the transports and the review gate are documented from 6project's own policy page; the prefix a free account actually receives, and its price, are not stated by the vendor and come from two third-party lists that disagree. A vendor price page, or a submitted request, would settle it.
