| Limits | - volume-quota (binding) 1 GB bandwidth per month source
- retention-clamped 30 min tunnel timeout on the free plan source
|
|---|
| Binding | volume-quota 1 GB is 0.0009 TiB; the 30-minute timeout would kill a WireGuard endpoint anyway, so two limits fail before the month is out. |
|---|
| Identity | email an account and an AuthToken per client: 'Select the AuthToken you entered in the Localtonet App' https://localtonet.com/documents/udp |

| Egress | 1 GB bandwidth per month on the free plan; paid tunnels are sold as unlimited bandwidth; ingress: udp free allowance: 1 GB bandwidth per month on the free plan; paid tunnels are sold as unlimited bandwidth |

| Interface | cli localtonet --headless --authtoken-file, plus a web dashboard that creates the tunnel |

| Tooling | localtonet client for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, Docker |

| Composes with | not composable: a 30-minute UDP port is not an endpoint any peer can keep in a config |
|---|
| Reliability | free tunnels are dropped every 30 minutes and the public port can change on restart |
|---|
| Notes | UDP is a first-class free protocol, which is why it was worth reading. Both the quota and the port stability disqualify it. |
|---|
| Evidence note | documented The two failing numbers are on the vendor's own pricing block and in its own plan comparison; the community reply repeats the 30-minute figure. |
