| Identity | anonymous No account required for basic usage. The vendor writes: no account required, random ephemeral hostname. Reserving a hostname is free but needs a login. |

| Binding | volume-quota At 1 TiB/month the 5 GB monthly allowance is exhausted in under two days (0.0045 TiB), and the free allowance is a hard stop, not a throttle. |

| Tooling | brew install tunnel-to/tunnelto/tunnelto, then tunnelto 3000. |

| Reliability | Anonymous hostnames are ephemeral and change per run; the free tier is metered and stops at the allowance. |
| Notes | Launched 2026-05-28 on Hacker News and listed on Product Hunt. HTTP-only by construction, so it cannot pass the UDP ingress test regardless of quota. |
| Evidence rung | documented A measured run would confirm whether the 5 GB counts ingress, egress or both; the page does not say. |
