## Metered tsocket

- `egress/metered-tsocket` | fails-egress | evidence documented | binding none | category tunnel (hosted, TCP only) | tier free
- needs card no, phone no, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-10-23 (live) | stale on 2026-11-23
- url https://www.metered.ca/tools/tsocket/
- price USD 0
- free tier: tsocket is completely free. Launch secure multiple http and tcp tunnels, without limitation. | unit: unlimited | metered on: none | read on: 2026-10-23 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: not applicable | source: [1]
- retention: not applicable | source: [1]
- egress: no bandwidth figure is published; the claim is 'without limitation' on tunnel count and no paid plan exists; ingress: tcp | metered: no | free allowance: none published | source: [1]
- identity: email | detail: an auth token from a Metered account: 'authenticate with the auth token' | country: None
- interface: cli
- binding note: No UDP path exists, so no quantity limit is reached first; the protocol is the limit.
- interface detail: tsocket with an auth token, multiple concurrent http and tcp tunnels
- tooling: tsocket binary
- composes with: TCP ingress only
- reliability: free with no stated cap, which usually means an unpublished tolerance
- notes: Named brief as metered.ca tsocket. The sibling TURN product was checked because TURN is the closest thing to a UDP relay in the Metered catalogue; 500 MB monthly and allocation semantics rule it out.
- evidence note: The vendor also sells a TURN service whose free allowance is 500 MB monthly, but TURN grants allocations to authenticated clients and does not present a public listening port, so it was not pursued as an ingress path.
- extras:
  - wg_path: none
  - wg_detail: TCP and HTTP only: the feature list is 'Can create TCP Tunnels', 'Can tunnel websockets', and the warning text is 'Tunnel local TCP server to internet is dangerous'
  - ingress: tcp
  - volume_stated: no bandwidth figure is published; the claim is 'without limitation' on tunnel count and no paid plan exists
  - bytes_transit: yes
  - transit_note: the Metered edge carries the TCP stream
- evidence:
  - [1] 2026-10-23: 'tsocket is completely free. Launch secure multiple http and tcp tunnels, without limitation.' and the TCP-only feature list
  - [2] 2026-10-23: 'Free 500MB monthly with unlimited STUN' on the TURN service, which is a relay for WebRTC and not a port forward
