| Free tier | quoted: 'Get a free LXC container with instant* deployment.' The tiny shape is 1 core, 256 MB, 2.56 GB SSD, 200 GB traffic unit unlimited; metered on none |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Per-object cap | not applicable: the unit is a container, not an object |
| Retention | no retention term is stated on the page; what happens to an idle container was not established |
| Egress | 200 GB of traffic on the tiny shape; metering unit not stated free_allowance: 200 GB |
| Identity | email (placeholder) unverified: the deploy page returned a location list marked 'Out of Stock' rather than a registration form, so the gate is not established. No card is mentioned anywhere on the pages read. |
| Limits | |
| Binding | volume-quota 200 GB of traffic is small even for a personal tunnel, and it is the first thing a WireGuard node carrying real traffic exhausts. |
| Interface | ssh SSH into an LXC container reachable on a NAT IPv4 port and over IPv6 |
| Tooling | any SSH client; HAProxy support is listed as a feature |
| Composes with | the only zero-cost machine found with a NAT IPv4 and 20 forwarded ports, if it has stock and if those ports carry UDP |
| Reliability | the deploy page reported 'Out of Stock' for Melbourne, Auckland, Tokyo and Singapore at the time of reading |
| Notes | Two things decide whether this is the answer and neither was established: whether the 20 forwarded IPv4 ports carry UDP (the page says only '20 IPv4 Ports', unlike NATKVM which states UDP explicitly), and whether any location has stock. 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. |
| Evidence rung | documented the free offer, the shape, the port count and the traffic figure are quoted from the home page read today; whether the 20 ports carry UDP is not stated, and stock is a moving condition |
