| Free tier | Free with no sign-up: a stable https://user-<n>.nport.link URL over HTTP/HTTPS and WebSocket, served from Cloudflare's edge. The harness measured a 4-hour session cap and confirmed the CLI spawns a bundled cloudflared. unit hours; metered on wall-clock |

| Price | none stated |

| Limits | - retention-clamped (binding) a 4-hour session cap
|
|---|
| Binding | retention-clamped the 4-hour session cap fails first; the edge is Cloudflare's, so its limits also apply underneath. |
|---|
| Identity | anonymous no sign-up: the page says 'No sign-up required', and the harness registered a tunnel with zero credentials |
|---|
| Egress | no byte quota is published; the tunnel is a Cloudflare edge in front of a bundled cloudflared, so Cloudflare's terms and edge limits apply |
|---|
| Per-object cap | not applicable: a tunnel, not an object |
|---|
| Retention | not applicable: a live tunnel; the harness measured a 4-hour session cap |
|---|
| Interface | cli nport 8080 registers a stable https://user-<n>.nport.link name and runs a bundled cloudflared tunnel to it |
|---|
| Tooling | the nport npm CLI, which spawns a bundled cloudflared binary |
|---|
| Composes with | it adds a stable name and a session cap over a Cloudflare quick tunnel rather than an independent relay network; a reader who excludes Cloudflare from the threat model excludes this too |
|---|
| Reliability | nport is a wrapper around cloudflared and the public edge is Cloudflare's, so an outage or a policy change at Cloudflare reaches it; the harness measured a 4-hour session cap |
|---|
| Notes | A stable-name wrapper around a Cloudflare quick tunnel: the naming is its own, the edge is not. The 4-hour session cap and the Cloudflare dependency are the two facts a reader needs. |
|---|
| Evidence note | reported the no-sign-up and Cloudflare claims are read from the vendor page; the 4-hour cap is a sandbox measurement, so the record is reported |
