Rules & Anti-abuse
Two rules end most free servers. A server's status is checked daily and one left offline for 3 days is suspended automatically; and VPNs, proxies, tunnels and obfuscated code are forbidden on the free plan. After suspension, a server created less than 7 days earlier is deleted after 3 days, while an older one is kept 15 days and recoverable from backups.waifly.com. One account per person is enforced, with an automated inspection every 30 minutes.
Good to know to avoid getting your server suspended or deleted.

Good to know
An affiliate program exists, paying a 10% commission — not to be confused with the "how did you find us" field at signup, which does not grant any reward.
