- interface: ssh
- limits:
  - per-ip-shaping (binding): Nothing countable is published, so an unpublished tolerance is what fails at 1 TiB/month. Protocol is the hard wall: HTTPS, TCP and TLS over SSH, with no UDP and no WireGuard path. [1]
- binding note: Nothing countable is published, so an unpublished tolerance is what fails at 1 TiB/month. Protocol is the hard wall: HTTPS, TCP and TLS over SSH, with no UDP and no WireGuard path.
- interface detail: SSH remote forwarding.
- tooling: system ssh only.
- composes with: Free TCP ingress for a VM without a card.
- reliability: Single-operator service with no published capacity; an outage is not covered by anything.
- notes: optimistixtunnel.com/pricing returns an origin error, so the free claim comes from the feature page. A free raw-TCP SSH forward with no account is unusual and worth a measurement.
- evidence note: The operator is small enough that the tolerance may be effectively zero.
