CloudSpectra VPN Twin

One address. It follows you.

A small relay runs in your own cloud account, and Static IP takes that relay's public address onto the machine you are sitting at -- laptop, workstation or phone, moved between them in seconds. $5.00 a month per address held. Your cloud provider bills you about $4 to $6 a month for the relay VM, separately from us.

What you get Static IP One address. One machine at a time. Movable.
Price $5.00 / month per address held. Flat, not metered.
Charged at checkout Yes. $5.00 for a full month, up front. Your billing month runs from the day you subscribe, whenever that is -- there is no proration on the way in and none on the way out. Cancel whenever you like and the address stays yours until the month you have paid for runs out.
What you actually get The relay's real public IPv4 and IPv6 are transferred onto the machine you are using. Every port, inbound and outbound. This is not port forwarding and it is not an overlay address handed to a tunnel -- it is the address itself.
Inbound connections Yes -- the address is yours while you hold it, so whatever reaches it reaches you, on any port.
Devices One at a time. Move the address between laptop, workstation and phone in seconds; that is the headline feature. Only one device holds it at any moment.
People One. The address is one-to-one with the machine currently holding it.
Billing unit Per address held, per month. Flat, because the address stays reserved for you whether or not a device is attached. A full month up front, prorated neither in nor out.
A month you do not use it $5.00. The address is still being held for you.
Your cloud provider's bill Separate, and yours. One relay VM, about $4 to $6 a month, charged to you by your provider. Not on our invoice, and not included in the $5.00 above.
Where the relay runs In your own cloud account -- DigitalOcean by default, Vultr and AWS also supported -- created with your own API token. We host nothing and we own no IP address.
Fee and term No signup fee. Billed a full month in advance from the day you subscribe; cancel at any time and the address stays yours until that month runs out.

Static IP -- $5.00 / month

Per address held. $5.00 charged now for a full month from today.

Your cloud provider bills you separately for the relay VM, about $4 to $6 a month.

Checkout itself can only show a single short line describing what you picked -- roughly a sentence, with no room for the caveats. That is why the whole comparison lives here, before the click rather than after it.

Still not sure? Read the sentence that sounds like you.

Almost everybody lands cleanly on one side of this.

💻

"I need to be an address."

Take Static IP. It is one person carrying one public address between their own machines.

  • Something has to reach you inbound -- a game host, a server you run at home, SSH, a webhook, a device that only trusts one address.
  • An account, a bank or an employer expects to see you coming from the same address every time.
  • You move between a laptop, a workstation and a phone and want the address to follow you rather than stay pinned to one box.
  • You are one person. One device holds the address at a time, and moving it is the point.
💳 What it costs, with the awkward numbers left in

Two prices, both real, neither rounded in our favour -- and then the bill that is not ours at all.

Static IP

Flat. Per address held.

Charged at checkout$5.00, a full month up front
Rate$5.00 / month
Cancelling mid-monthno refund, yours to month end
A full month, device attached or not$5.00
12 months, one address$60.00
Second address held at the same time+$5.00 / month
The whole bill, both halves

A worked example: one public address, one person, running continuously for a full calendar month.

Cloud Spectra subscription -- Static IP, one address held $5.00
Your cloud provider, for the relay VM -- their smallest instance, charged to your card by them, on a bill we never see about $4 to $6
Set-up or signup fee$0.00
Minimum termnone
Total, across both bills about $9 to $11 a month
The cloud bill is yours, and it is the part people are surprised by. The relay is created in your account with your API token, and it stays yours. Your provider charges you for it directly, and Cloud Spectra never sees that token, that invoice or that card. Two consequences worth knowing before you buy. First, the machine keeps costing you money until you destroy it -- cancelling with us does not stop it, so when you are finished with a relay, destroy it in your own provider console as well as cancelling here. Second, if you push enough traffic to exceed your provider's included transfer allowance, the overage lands on their bill, not ours. DigitalOcean and Vultr sit at the low end of the $4 to $6 range; on AWS, budget somewhat more once an Elastic IP and per-GB egress are counted. Those are their prices, not ours, and they can change them without telling us.
📡 What actually happens on each plan

Same relay, same CLI, two different things done with the address.

Static IP

The address comes to you.

1

The relay comes up in your account

cloudspectra up creates the VM with your own cloud token and reads its public IPv4 and IPv6. This is the moment your provider starts charging you for the machine.

2

The address moves onto your machine

Both families, every port, inbound and outbound. Applications see the public address as their own, because it is.

3

You take it somewhere else

cloudspectra up --take-over on another machine carries the same address across in seconds. The old machine drops off; only one holds it at a time. Moving costs nothing extra -- only running two addresses simultaneously counts as two.

Things worth knowing before you pay

None of this is buried in the terms.

📡

The relay reports in

VPN Twin contacts a Cloud Spectra control plane. The price is flat, so that report is not used to compute your bill -- but the relay still contacts us: it is how the address is handed between your devices, and how a cancelled subscription stops being served. It is a property of the product, not an analytics choice. Our Gateway products send no telemetry unless you explicitly opt in -- the full disclosure is in the Trust Center.

☁

Your account, your token

The relay is provisioned in your cloud account with your API token. We never receive that token and never see your cloud bill. We operate no relay of our own and hold no IP address, which is also why the address you get is a real one from your provider rather than something rented back to you.

💳

Stopping is easy

No signup fee, and you can cancel at any time. Your billing month runs from the day you subscribe. Cancel part-way through one and there is no refund for the remainder -- instead the address stays yours, and keeps working, until that month runs out. Nothing renews after it. cloudspectra billing opens the billing portal for invoices, card changes and cancellation. Remember to destroy the relay VM in your own provider console too.

One subscription can carry both. If you start on Static IP and later want a shared relay for your team -- or the other way round -- the second mode is added as another line on the same subscription rather than as a second account. Buying, though, is per plan: you choose one at checkout, and add the other afterwards.

One address, and it follows you.

$5.00 a month per address held, plus whatever your own cloud provider charges for the relay VM -- about $4 to $6. Cancel whenever you like; the address stays yours until the month you paid for runs out.
