How much traffic and coin will I use?
LRO bills the bytes relayed through a tunnel — nothing for idle agents or open-but-unused tunnels. So your cost is simply how much data the protocol you tunnel moves. Below are rough estimates to size a plan; the panel always shows your real usage and current rates.
The rate
Relayed traffic currently costs about 0.1 coin per GB (a 1 GB traffic package is 0.1 coin; 100 MB is 0.01 coin). Coin is topped up with real currency at roughly one euro per coin, so 1 GB works out to around €0.10. These figures are current as of June 2026 — the panel’s Pricing always shows the live rate.
The figures below are traffic only. On top of traffic, each active agent carries a subscription — a separate recurring fee that keeps the agent active and includes a small traffic bucket. See how is traffic billed for the full picture.
What a session typically costs
Order-of-magnitude estimates for planning, not guarantees — actual traffic depends on what you do. Coin figures use the current 0.1 coin/GB rate.
| Scenario | Typical traffic | Coin |
|---|---|---|
| SSH admin session (15–30 min, mostly text) | ~2–10 MB | < 0.001 (≈ free) |
| Web admin panel — router / NAS / switch (one visit) | ~5–20 MB | ~0.001–0.002 |
| Database query / maintenance session | ~1–50 MB | up to ~0.005 |
| RDP remote desktop, light office use (per hour) | ~150–400 MB | ~0.015–0.04 |
| VNC remote desktop, light use (per hour) | ~100–300 MB | ~0.01–0.03 |
| File / backup transfer | = file size | ~0.1 per GB |
Worked examples (traffic per month)
Traffic cost only — add each agent’s subscription separately (see below).
- Sysadmin, ~20 servers, daily SSH check-ins. ~20 short sessions a day at ~5 MB ≈ 100 MB/day ≈ 3 GB/month ≈ ~0.3 coin/month in traffic (≈ €0.30).
- One hour of RDP support per workday. ~300 MB × ~22 days ≈ 6.5 GB/month ≈ ~0.65 coin/month in traffic.
- Occasional 2 GB backup pull. ~2 GB ≈ ~0.2 coin of traffic per pull.
On top of traffic, each active agent carries a subscription — a recurring per-agent fee that keeps it active for a period and includes a small traffic bucket. It is charged whether or not the agent is busy, so for a fleet the subscriptions, not the traffic, are usually the larger line item. When the bucket runs out, overflow traffic is drawn from coin or a traffic package; with auto-topup and a limit you set, an over-budget month tops up automatically instead of pausing your tunnels.
How to keep traffic low
- Prefer text protocols (SSH, CLI, APIs) over remote desktop where you can — they move far fewer bytes.
- For RDP/VNC, lower colour depth and disable wallpaper and animations in the client.
- Close tunnels you are not using — though an open, idle tunnel already costs nothing.
