Free tier	no service and no account; a Docker container that connects to a VPN provider the operator has an account with unit none; metered on none
Price	USD 0
Per-object cap	not applicable
Retention	not applicable
Egress	not applicable; the volume is the provider's, not the container's; ingress: none free_allowance: none published
Identity	institution a subscription with one of the listed VPN providers is what it exists to consume; the custom provider path needs no gluetun account but the endpoint still needs one
Binding	none gluetun adds no limit and no path: it is a consumer of somebody else's tunnel, so the binding constraint lives in the provider record
Interface	cli Docker environment variables, plus built-in SOCKS5, Shadowsocks and HTTP proxies
Tooling	Docker image qmcgaw/gluetun; compose or docker run
Composes with	takes a .conf from any provider record in this topic and republishes it as SOCKS5 or Shadowsocks inside a Docker network.
Reliability	the built-in firewall kill switch blocks traffic when the tunnel drops, by design
Notes	Recorded because brief names it, and because it is the standard way to turn a provider's .conf into a local SOCKS5 or Shadowsocks listener that other containers route through. It is not a transport wrapper and it does not cross a UDP block by itself: its tcp option is OpenVPN over TCP, not WireGuard over TCP.
Evidence rung	documented nothing here is about gluetun's own numbers; the rung that matters belongs to the provider it dials
Checked	2026-10-23 (live); stale on 2026-11-22
Parsed numbers	`$.price_per_tb_month` price-per-tb USD0.0 TB / month
