Tunnelbyte gives you WireGuard tunnels in multiple regions, on demand, billed by the minute. No subscription. No GUI. The CLI is the front door; the API is the same primitive exposed for scripts and CI. 
$ tunnelbyte sin
✓ tunnel up via 5.223.57.171 (sin) - anonymous tier
  proxy: http://127.0.0.1:57412
Traffic through the tunnel exits from the region you chose, so destinations see that region’s IP. We’re German-registered; the full operational posture is in Security and What we log.

​
Who this is for

  • Scrapers and CI jobs against APIs and sites that don’t employ aggressive bot detection (Cloudflare Bot Management, DataDome, PerimeterX). Exit IPs are datacenter IPs from known ASNs - great for “this API is region-locked” but the wrong tool for “this consumer site fights bots.”
  • Synthetic monitoring running E2E tests through N regions on every PR.
  • Developers doing occasional regional egress - affiliate verification, geo-targeted curl, throwaway pentest exit IPs.
  • Anyone who wants WireGuard from one command without wg-quick, system-routing surprises, or a monthly subscription for the four times a month they use it.

​
What’s in these docs

  • Quickstart - install and run your first tunnel in under a minute.
  • CLI - every command, every flag.
  • API - the same primitive over HTTP, for when you want to call it from your code.
  • Concepts - tiers, routing modes, abuse policy, what we log.

​
What this isn’t

  • It’s not a consumer VPN app. There’s no .app, no system tray, no streaming-unblock marketing.
  • It’s not a residential-IP proxy service. Datacenter IPs only.
  • It’s not a bypass tool for Cloudflare Bot Management or DataDome. Datacenter ASNs get blocked at the edge regardless of region or rotation speed - no proxy product fixes that without residential IPs.
  • It’s not a Mullvad/Nord competitor on the monthly subscription axis. The pricing model is per-use, not per-month.

Pricing in one line

Free anonymous tier (1 GiB / 7 days, 30 min / day) → free account (5 GiB / 7 days + 2 h / day) → paid at €0.01/min + €0.02/GiB, no daily quota. Full pricing.

Roadmap

More datacenter regions are planned as demand justifies them - please email hello@tunnelbyte.dev if there’s a specific region you’d be interested in. Residential-IP egress is a different product (different economics, different ethics) and isn’t on our v1 roadmap. If that’s what you need now, this isn’t the right tool yet.
