You can use ssh with a sprite.

Nope, unless they changed this recently. It's an ssh-like way to connect and get a console/terminal, but it's not ssh, and there is no transfer capability

Só, if you put this on a tailnet and there’s no proxy between you and the sprite, you’re saying you can’t SSH in? Are you sure about that?

I wrote a very slow, good citizen DHT scraper the other day to do some research and the second I spun it up on a Hetzner box I got an email from them that summarized as "For real, bro? Computer says no."

They actually look into the stuff you put on the computer? That's even worse than I thought. I did get a strong feeling of distrust towards their customers when I tried to sign up but because of that I never went ahead with the deal. Dodged a bullet, clearly. Ps what's a DHT scraper?

They just look at the traffic coming and going. I have a bunch of Hetzner boxes for different web projects that I've had forever and never heard a peep from them.

DHT is the protocol for P2P BitTorrent metadata transfer, essentially. It sorta lets you bootstrap a BitTorrent download without having a centralized tracker site. I'm trying to find a list of torrents for a research project and I need to monitor a lot of DHT traffic to see what is out there.

Disposable Root Servers: https://www.thc.org/segfault/ Segfault offers free unlimited Root Servers. A new server (inside a Virtual Machine) is created for every SSH connection. - Dedicated Root Server for every user. - Pre-installed tools on Kali-Linux. - Outgoing traffic is routed through NordVPN/CryptoStorm/Mullvad. - Reverse TCP/UDP port on a public IP. - Transparent TOR to connect to .onion addresses. - Log in vi…

I suspect this service will be abused by all kind of people and will have to shut down.

it is not the cheapest on a per hr basis, so I hope it will self select to not be used for such purposes
