- free tier: The lowest absolute price found: a Hong Kong NAT instance at CNY 2.62 a month with 2 TB of traffic, tested and posted by a user in a 75-percent-off promotion. A Singapore StarHub-shape instance at 1 vCPU / 256 MB / 500 GB renews at CNY 12 a month. The merchant also issues free machines, mostly a Japanese line it calls 狗妈, and resale listings trade those free instances at CNY 180 to CNY 600, which is the market's own valuation of a perpetual-free box. | unit: GiB | metered on: wall-clock | read on: 2026-10-22 | source: [1] | note: perpetual
- per-object cap: not applicable | source: [1]
- retention: not applicable | source: [1]
- egress: A NAT instance shares one IPv4 with other tenants and is reached by port mapping, so the first thing that fails is inbound service, not bandwidth; the 2 TB allowance sits behind a shared address and a reseller-priced coupon, and a coupon that is not renewed ends the machine. | metered: yes | source: [1]
- identity: institution | detail: Not established. The merchant sells through its own panel and the forum threads describe purchases and transfers, not the signup fields.

  - per-ip-shaping (binding): A NAT instance shares one IPv4 with other tenants and is reached by port mapping, so the first thing that fails is inbound service, not bandwidth; the 2 TB allowance sits behind a shared address and a reseller-priced coupon, and a coupon that is not renewed ends the machine.

- limits note: A NAT instance shares one IPv4 with other tenants and is reached by port mapping, so the first thing that fails is inbound service, not bandwidth; the 2 TB allowance sits behind a shared address and a reseller-priced coupon, and a coupon that is not renewed ends the machine.
- binding note: the same as limits note
- interface detail: inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed
- tooling: not stated
- composes with: CNY 2.62 a month for a Hong Kong NAT box with 2 TB is the cheapest egress-heavy node found, and it composes with a tunnel for inbound; the shared IPv4 and the coupon dependency are what break it.
- reliability: no reliability event recorded
- notes: Two cautions are recorded in the entry itself: the 2.62 figure came from a promotion code and is not the list price, and the free machines are a marketing device whose renewal depends on the merchant continuing to hand out coupons. The resale prices are the most useful datum, because they show what the market pays for a perpetual-free instance when it cannot be obtained directly.
