They have also threatened to cancel my account more than once because I typed "ipfs daemon".

>This happens with Hetzner all the time because they have no VLANs and all customers are on a single LAN and IPFS tries to discover other nodes in the same LAN by default.

Hetzner is also sinkholed by lots of EDR products because they host a ton of malicious garbage. They are a bad actor.
Why is it their job to be the arbiters of what customers are allowed to do on their platform?
To be fair, most hosting platforms have those in T&S, some even explicitly say you can't torrent pirated movies and even monitor your activities.
Same as AWS. I've added quite a few AWS ip ranges to my firewall.
