I've ran into the IP deny list problem too, but for Windows VMs - you spin them up, only to realise that you can't get Windows Updates, can't reach the Powershell gallery etc.

And just deleting it and starting again is just going to give you the exact same IP again!

I ended up having to buy a dozen or so IPs until I found one that wasn't blocked, and then I could delete all the blocked ones.
