They do not need to access you disk to determine that. They can just observe behavioural patterns and use heuristics.
E.g. 24/7 100% cpu, low data, port traffic on typical crypto related protocols to known crypto endpoints will raise red flags.
They can terminate you for any or no reason with 30 days notice, and terminate service immediately for suspected abuse or non compliance.
Seems this already happened twice to you. You can try any non specialized cloud or server renting provider, and the result will be the same.
The type of server, dedicated vs shared, very much does matter. If you grab a shared resource for 100%, you deny all other shared users their usage opportunity. Bursting upto 100% occasionally is very different from 100% sustained. You know this very well, and you are reasoning from a bad faith pov. Using a shared resource 100% by definition makes it not shared.
- OutOfHere 1y agoStop right there. It is completely false that major cloud providers in general prohibit crypto activities. I was not running any endpoint. I was not even serving or mining anything. Hetzner terminated me simply for high CPU usage. No other cloud provider does this. The heuristics you note are of garbage quality, full of errors in classification, with a faulty classification being their default case. It's when someone is first found guilty of being a witch, then a dumb association is noted to label them as such. If a user is using a shared CPU all of the time, then it's the job of a good cloud vendor to throttle the user when resources are needed for other users. Hetzner simply does not have this technical capability which goes to show how weak it is. The sheer number of blatant lies in your comment go to show that it is you who has extremely bad faith all around. You are a bad person who has much to lose with Hetzner being exposed for what it is, a fraud.
