- interface: rest
- limits:
  - write-gated: free covers 'One Minecraft Java server in the default worldwide region on the Start plan'; Bedrock and other UDP are separate paid lines [1]
  - per-ip-shaping: free server is capped at 20 players at once [1]
- binding note: The free entitlement is one Java server with no stated byte counter, and UDP is a paid line item, so nothing free reaches a 1 TiB/month quota. The paid 'Other UDP' line is explicitly 'Not for VPNs or proxies', which is the relevant limit for a WireGuard use.
- interface detail: Wizard that shows the total before you connect, billed from an account balance.
- tooling: DNS record, per-protocol setup
- composes with: Fronts a public origin per protocol; the free server is a Minecraft Java endpoint only.
- reliability: Free server is one Java server at 20 players; generic UDP is sold with an explicit exclusion of VPN and proxy traffic.
- notes: The most explicit statement that generic UDP is a priced product and that VPN use is out of scope. Its free tier is a Java-only allowance at 20 players, the same shape as Arvoris and FloodGuard.
- evidence note: Free entitlement, price list and the per-protocol caveat are on one first-party page. Whether the free server has an unpublished fair-use cap would need an account.
- extras:
  - wg_path: none
  - wg_detail: Generic UDP is sold from USD 7/month as its own line item; the free entitlement is one Minecraft Java server.
  - ingress: tcp
  - volume_stated: No byte allowance is stated for the free server or for the paid lines; prices are per month by protocol, from USD 5 for Minecraft Bedrock and from USD 7 for other UDP
  - bytes_transit: yes
  - transit_note: TurtleGuard nodes terminate the connection and forward to the origin

  - [1] 2026-10-23: Any TCP or UDP and Bedrock are sold from USD 5-7 per month; 'Other UDP' is 'Packet and flow limits per address. Not for VPNs or proxies.'
