| Free tier | No free tier. The cheapest plan is USD 9.95 a year, described as 'Cheapest Los Angeles' and 'Works out to $0.83 / month'. unit none; metered on none |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Limits | |
| Binding | volume-quota 750 GB a month is the first hard number; the missing IPv4 is a reachability limit rather than a quota, and it fails on the first IPv4-only peer instead. |
| Identity | email Self-service order with an email account and a $0 setup fee. The specials page read states no card hold and does not list accepted payment methods, so the card, PayPal or crypto routes are not established. |
| Egress | 750 GB a month at 10 Gbps on the 1 GB plan. The page states no throttle and no price after the allowance. free allowance: 750 GB |
| Retention | The container persists while the annual term is paid. A 7-day money-back guarantee is stated; there is no published deletion schedule for non-payment. |
| Interface | ssh Root SSH into an LXC container; OS chosen at checkout from Debian, Ubuntu, AlmaLinux or Rocky. |
| Tooling | Any SSH client. LXC shares the host kernel, so no custom kernel and no wireguard module of your own. |
| Composes with | A 1 GB container with a routed /64 and 750 GB a month for USD 9.95 a year: an IPv6 WireGuard endpoint, a status page or a monitoring probe from a US West Coast address. |
| Reliability | LXC containers share the host kernel; the vendor says so plainly and prices accordingly. |
| Notes | The vendor advertises the IPv6-only line as suitable for 'tunnel endpoints' and 'monitoring probes', which is use. A WireGuard listener on a public port therefore has a stated route over IPv6; an IPv4 peer needs the USD 24/yr address. Not measured: whether the host kernel exposes the wireguard module to the container. |
| Evidence note | documented Price, monthly equivalent, shape, traffic, IPv6 block, IPv4 surcharge and the annual billing term are all quoted from the vendor's specials page read. |

| Notes | The tracker's USD 9.95/year Los Angeles plan was not on either vendor page read; the cheapest plan found on the vendor's own pages is USD 5.00/month in Amsterdam, and that is the record. The Amsterdam page also says 'Starting at only EUR 3.50 per month' in prose against a table that starts at USD 5.00, so the page carries two currencies and neither was converted. |
