I want to host a V2Ray server on an Azure free tier B1S virtual machine, and I was wondering how much total traffic I can send through my V2Ray server before I get charged.

Hello @ABEYSINGHE K.J

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A platform.

I hope I can help you with this question.

Azure free tier B1S virtual machine comes with a monthly limit of 750 hours of compute time. It also includes 1 GB of outbound data transfer per month. If you exceed this limit, you will be charged for the additional usage.

Regarding the data transfer, Azure charges for both inbound and outbound data transfer. Inbound data transfer is free, but outbound data transfer is charged based on the amount of data transferred. The pricing for outbound data transfer varies depending on the region and the amount of data transferred.

For example, if you are in the US and you transfer 1 GB of data from your V2Ray server to the internet, you will be charged $0.087 per GB. If you transfer 10 GB of data, you will be charged $0.083 per GB. You can find more information about Azure data transfer pricing on the Azure website.

To summarize, you can send up to 1 GB of outbound data transfer per month for free with your B1S virtual machine. If you exceed this limit, you will be charged based on the amount of data transferred.

Hello
I found the details you provided to be quite clear, and I appreciate your response.
Are there any exceptions to the aforementioned restrictions when using a student subscription?

Regarding Azure for student subscriptions, it is a program that provides students with free access to certain Azure services, including virtual machines, storage, and databases. The program provides students with a limited amount of free usage each month, which varies depending on the service.

About data transfers, Azure for Students provides students with a limited amount of free outbound data transfer each month. The amount of free outbound data transfer varies depending on the region and the type of subscription. For example, students with an Azure for Students Starter subscription in the US can transfer up to 15 GB of data per month for free.

If you exceed the free usage limits provided by Azure for Students, you will be charged for the additional usage. The pricing for additional usage is the same as the pricing for regular Azure services.

Keep in mind that the Azure for Students program is intended for educational purposes only, and any usage that violates the program's terms of use may result in the suspension or termination of your subscription.
