| Free tier | tsocket is completely free. Launch secure multiple http and tcp tunnels, without limitation. unit unlimited; metered on none |
|---|---|
| Price | USD 0 |
| Binding | none No UDP path exists, so no quantity limit is reached first; the protocol is the limit. |
| Identity | email an auth token from a Metered account: 'authenticate with the auth token' |
| Egress | no bandwidth figure is published; the claim is 'without limitation' on tunnel count and no paid plan exists; ingress: tcp free allowance: none published |
| Interface | cli 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| Reliability | free with no stated cap, which usually means an unpublished tolerance |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 | documented 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. |
