We get a ton of bot traffic from Hetzner servers.

I recommend to nag their abuse mail, they tend to forward abuse information to the server owner first (which is awesome for people running stuff on their service, I got locked out of a previous provider in the US after someone fired a malicious abuse complaint against me)

  I had Hetzner before and got my server locked out from a malicious abuse complaint and the support ignored my emails, I had to call them, from abroad to get my server's access back just because some thought it was fun to "swatt" my server. I moved pretty quick from there after that.

  We had some of our legacy setup on hetzner used in a DDoS reflection attack a year ago. That was handled really professionally by Hetzner imo. They null routed the systems and requested us to get in contact with them within a couple of working days or they'd void the contract. We handed them our office IP to whitelist. Once I could get back onto the systems, I could finally overrule all the stupid legacy hesitation and setup firewalls on the systems. From there, the support confirmed the ports are closed and the servers got freed again. Good experience, in spite of the circumstances. And the remote hands at hetzner are good, especially if you know how to work with DCOPs. You know, have redundant systems, shutdown the broken system so they can just do whatever they have to do once they're around.

>We get a ton of bot traffic from Hetzner servers. Because they're a discount provider. OVH has the same problem.

  So right. OVH is worse than Hetzner.

  Why use "discount" instead of "inexpensive" here?
  - chrisper 8y ago
    Because discount implies inexpensive.

      It also implies cut-rate shit.

  Actual bots? I host my VPN on a box from a provider in that list (and I'm not a bot).
