Key characteristics include:

• RAM of 1GB
• 1 vCPU.
• Disk storage of 4GB
• NAT IPv4 (IPv6 is not available at the moment)
• Only DNS and HTTP(S) are permitted by the Firewall
• Only supports Debian Linux
• Each VPS has a restriction of 24 mbit/second
• Every 48 hours, you’re required to renew the VPS, which only takes about 5 seconds

Activation is not automatic, to avoid abuse.
