Popular VPS hosts like Digital Ocean, Linode, etc are all going to smack you down if you do anything remotely fishy on their networks. They have to have a pretty good idea of what's happening with their VPS systems, and I've seen them (DO/Linode) smack down everything from specific VPN connections to web scraping.

If you're going to use a VPS for anything remotely sketch you probably don't want to go with a reputable provider - they're reputable for a reason.

What strange ToS clause would those fall under? Skimmed the DO ToS and found nothing, while they also have a separate page promoting the deployment of your own VPN
