Free tier	Global Socket allows two workstations on different private networks to communicate with each other. Through firewalls and through NAT - like there is no firewall. unit unlimited; metered on none
Price	USD 0
Per-object cap	not applicable
Retention	not applicable
Egress	No byte, port or time limit is published on the project page; the relay is volunteer-run and carries no price.; ingress: tcp free_allowance: none published
Identity	anonymous a shared secret string is the only credential: 'gsocket -s ExampleSecretChangeMe /usr/sbin/sshd -D'.
Limits	per-ip-shaping No quota is published, so an unpublished tolerance on a volunteer relay is what fails at 1 TiB/month. TCP only: a WireGuard peer cannot be reached through it. source
Binding	per-ip-shaping No quota is published, so an unpublished tolerance on a volunteer relay is what fails at 1 TiB/month. TCP only: a WireGuard peer cannot be reached through it.
Interface	cli gsocket CLI.
Tooling	gsocket binary (C).
Composes with	TCP ingress for a VM without a card.
Reliability	Shared secret, no account: anyone holding the secret reaches the service, and the relay operator can see connection metadata.
Notes	A free public relay with no account and end-to-end encryption, carrying TCP only. Closest thing here to a no-identity TCP ingress, which is why it is worth a measurement even though it is not UDP.
Evidence rung	documented No allowance is published at all, so the free relay is a lead rather than a measured number. One sustained transfer through the relay would settle whether a tolerance exists.
Checked	2026-10-23 (live); stale on 2026-11-22
Parsed numbers	`$.limits[0].value` limit:per-ip-shaping 1.0 TiB / month `$.price_per_tb_month` price-per-tb USD0.0 TB / month
