# Free Subscription No Longer Needed to Watch the ipSpace.net Videos « ipSpace.net blog

**[ipSpace.net Blog](https://daily.dev/sources/ipspace)** · 1 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

ipSpace.net has removed the free account requirement to watch its free videos. Previously, a login was required because videos were hosted on AWS S3, where unlimited streaming could lead to high egress costs. After migrating video storage to Cloudflare R2, which promises no egress fees, the site owner decided to drop the registration barrier entirely, making free videos publicly accessible without an account.

## Questions this post answers

### Why does Cloudflare R2 have no egress fees compared to AWS S3?

Cloudflare R2 is designed to eliminate egress fees entirely, which Cloudflare explicitly promises will never be charged. This contrasts with AWS S3, where egress (data transfer out) costs can scale unpredictably with streaming traffic, making unlimited public video access financially risky for small operators.

_Teams weighing storage costs between AWS S3 and Cloudflare R2 find real-world comparisons like this on daily.dev._
