| Limits | - volume-quota (binding) 5 GB of bandwidth per user, reset monthly source
- request-rate 1500 HTTP requests per minute per port source
- per-ip-shaping data transfer rate up to 20 MB/s per tunnel source

| Binding | volume-quota 5 GB is 0.0045 TiB, so the byte allowance fails about 220 times before 1 TiB/month. Ports are TCP, with UDP hedged as 'may also be supported', so a WireGuard peer has no reliable path. |

| Notes | Corrected in the sweep's last pass: the overview and the FAQ state no quota, and the limits table does. 5 GB/month makes this a development endpoint, not an ingress path. The 20 MB/s ceiling is per tunnel and would allow 1 TiB in about 15 hours, so the monthly byte quota is what binds. |
|---|
| Evidence note | documented The allowance, the rate and the tunnel count are stated in one table. What is not stated is whether the 5 GB covers raw TCP forwarding as well as HTTP; the table names no protocol. |
