The 2 Mbps is a per-peer rate, not a per-account cap: the pricing page attaches the rate to each peer (\"each peer gets its own rate limit at the plan's throughput tier\"), so a single service on one address gets 2 Mbps. Unlimited data is real and only speed is sold: two independent sentences on the same page say so, and a published customer claim reports 14 TB in a month. The free tier is IPv6-only: the FAQ names Free among the IPv6-only plans. Monthly prices for the IPv4 tiers (Pulse and up) are not in the page HTML, so the paid IPv4 path is priced only by its setup fees here.","extras":{"wg_path":"registration-api","wg_detail":"There is no file to import: the agent injects the tunnel into the container's network namespace. \"WireGuard kernel netns injection - the container IS the IP.
