Terms of Service

Last updated: January 5, 2026

Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully. Rlay.io is a free-to-use community project designed to help gamers and developers.

1. Service Description

Rlay.io provides a secure tunneling service to expose local TCP/UDP ports to the internet. The service is completely free and optimized for:

Game Servers

Ideal for hosting Minecraft, FiveM, Terraria, or other multiplayer lobbies with friends.

Dev & Web

Perfect for testing webhooks, local APIs, or showing a project demo to a client.

2. Speed Limits & Fair Use

To ensure the service remains free and stable for everyone, we enforce a strict bandwidth policy:

  • Speed Cap: All connections are limited to approximately 20 Mbps (Megabits per second).
  • Fair Share: This limit is hard-coded to prevent any single user from saturating the network.
  • Not a CDN: Do not use Rlay for high-bandwidth file hosting or 4K video streaming.

3. Free Service & Donations

Rlay.io is a free service. We do not sell premium tiers, speed boosts, or subscriptions.

  • Donations: We accept donations to help cover server costs (infrastructure, electricity, bandwidth).
  • Voluntary Nature: Donations are entirely voluntary gifts. Donating does not entitle you to special treatment, higher speeds, or immunity from these Terms.
  • Non-Refundable: As donations are gifts to support the project, they are non-refundable.

4. Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)

You agree NOT to use Rlay for:

  • Illegal activities, malware distribution, or phishing.
  • Network attacks (DDoS, port scanning).
  • Carding or fraud.

Violation of this policy will result in an immediate and permanent ban.

5. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" FOR FREE. WE MAKE NO GUARANTEES REGARDING UPTIME, DATA INTEGRITY, OR SUITABILITY FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGES CAUSED BY EXPOSING YOUR LOCAL PORTS TO THE INTERNET.

6. Changes to Terms

We may update these terms or change the technical limits (e.g., speed caps) at any time to maintain service stability. Continued use implies acceptance of these changes.
