@itgods for what its worth, nooooo! This is like reverse engineering Ovh, much more interesting than pr0n.
I canceled one or my orders and they said 5 to 6 business days for a refund. Payed with paypal.
Here is the forum announcement regarding new server agreemenr and 3 KS server limitation!

They are forbidding Tor. Oh well, it was good while it lasted.
(that's just one server of 3)
"By right", OVH must give you a full refund within 30 days of the date of the cancellation under EU law.
That's both directions, e.g. Jul is average 58.5+58.5Mbit in+out.
@rm_ is there a way to detect Tor middle nodes by flow analysis or DPI? Or maybe they just see too much traffic and decide it must be something bad.
@rds100 the full list of all nodes (except bridges) is public http://torstatus.blutmagie.de/![:) :)](https://lowendtalk.com/resources/emoji/smile.png)
they can simply go through all OVH IPs they see and kick out people one by one.
Well after looking more into this, the new agreement only applies either if you accept it voluntarily in the manager, or on the next renewal of a server (and for that server). So I have some more months, I think.
Also forbidden are all IRC services (see section 7.4)
@rm_ yes, but i assume nobody would be running a Tor exit on a cheap dedi without special prior arrangements. So by "Tor" people usually mean tor middle nodes (bridges)?
@nfn Why did you cancel? How many orders did you have?
Use obfsproxy.
Just emailed OVH for clarification regarding >3 KS servers.. if i need to cancel.
My order just disappeared right after they sent me a payment confirmation LOL
If they forbid everything IRC related why do they need the VAC system in the first place? ;-) Are game servers allowed?
As I understood their new TOS, they are forbidding all kinds of nodes, without limiting to exit nodes only. Of course it's nothing new that providers do not distinguish these types and just ban all of it.
Gameserver are not forbidden anyway.
P.S.: and in theory you can ask for permission to run both IRC and Tor, buuuuuuuut I dunno about the chances of success of that, especially regarding the latter. Anyways, we should wait for the English version of the new TOS.
Its not allowed to Run tor on these boxes.
So they dont allow (private) VPN either?
Under the canceled invoice, they have included the following text.
They only say: VPN/Proxy/TOR is not allowed until you ask for. But when they say Tor Relay is not allowed to relay secure traffic that could be end worse.... but im sure that you can use tunnel over SSH.
My fist order was made using ovh.IE and since I'm from Portugal and there is a ovh.PT I asked if I should let the order be completed or reorder at ovh.PT.
The said I should order at ovh.PT since it's my country and they will refund in 5/6 business days.
I just ordered one server.
They sent me a message confirming this payment.
@peppr Force majeure? No discount? Is this for dispute/chargeback protection?
finally some good news
Ofc, because they will refund you. How could they refund you if they don't confirm the payment?
@Jack what domain, it says cancelled.
I know, I'm just saying they just confirmed it's payment.
Yeah well, no response in 2 1/2 hours and they get to use paypal's interface for the support ticket.
What on earth does this have to do with this thread?
