> why do you trust your VPS provider over a VPN provider?

They simply don't have the resources to log every single memory read/write and every network connection of all their hosts. Thus you would have to already be a known target for them to want to do that. Whereas a VPN provider has a limited scope of what they can log and thus needs a fraction of the resources to log everything.

So you inspect filesystems or figure out other stats through low resource activity?

There are probably logging systems already in place to detect abuse, that would be extended to detect VPN style usage on top of that.
