Is anyone else getting their DigitalOcean IPs banned from certain sites? I use it as a personal VPN sometimes and lately any application hosted on Google App Engine is inaccessible. Sometimes Gmail, Google Analytics and Google Drive are also inaccessible.

The strange part is that the server I am using should not be sending email or doing much really except hosting some git repos and a basic website.

I've run into that before on VPNs using AWS. Likely the public IP my server is using was used for abuse before I got it, especially as they usually only stick very ephemerally unless you upgrade to an Elastic IP.
