| Binding | per-ip-shaping Nothing countable is published, so no quota can be designed against. At 1 TiB/month the thing that fails is an unpublished per-relay tolerance, and the free plan's second limiter is structural rather than a byte count: one active tunnel. Auto-reconnect is listed only under PRO, so a free tunnel that drops is re-established by the operator and not by a user. |

| Composes with | one free UDP port is exactly one WireGuard endpoint: run wg-quick on the origin, point a free VM or a second tunnel at it, and the relay carries the datagrams |

| Reliability | auto-reconnect is a PRO feature, so a free tunnel that drops stays down until a user is restarted; 'unlimited' is a marketing word with no rate behind it |
|---|
| Notes | The strongest free-tier UDP candidate found that is not a game-preset tunnel: UDP is in the base plan, the port is configured rather than allocated, and the allowance is stated as unlimited. Not measured. The free tier's one-tunnel cap is a plan limit outside the constraint vocabulary and lives in binding_note. Re-read 2026-10-23: PRO adds 90-day traffic history and connection insights, so the edge counts bytes even though every plan is sold as unlimited. |
|---|
| Evidence note | documented Raise to measured by running the CLI on a free account, holding a UDP port, reconnecting, and confirming the public port is unchanged after a restart; then pushing a counted byte volume through it for an hour and reading the transfer counter. |
