Free tier	tsocket is completely free for personal and commercial use. Launch secure multiple http and tcp tunnels, without limitation. unit unlimited; metered on none
Price	USD 0
Per-object cap	not applicable
Retention	not applicable
Egress	no bandwidth figure is published; the claim is 'without limitation' on tunnel count and no paid plan exists; ingress: tcp free_allowance: none published
Identity	email an auth token from a Metered account: 'authenticate with the auth token'
Binding	none No UDP path exists, so no quantity limit is reached first; the protocol is the limit.
Interface	cli tsocket with an auth token, multiple concurrent http and tcp tunnels
Tooling	tsocket binary
Composes with	TCP ingress only
Reliability	free with no stated cap, which usually means an unpublished tolerance
Notes	Named brief as metered.ca tsocket. The sibling TURN product was checked because TURN is the closest thing to a UDP relay in the Metered catalogue; 500 MB monthly and allocation semantics rule it out.
Evidence rung	documented The vendor also sells a TURN service whose free allowance is 500 MB monthly, but TURN grants allocations to authenticated clients and does not present a public listening port, so it was not pursued as an ingress path.
Checked	2026-10-23 (live); stale on 2026-11-22
Parsed numbers	`$.price_per_tb_month` price-per-tb USD0.0 TB / month
