In addition to thousands of web sites we also host a lot of VPN service providers and individual users who run VPNs on our droplets. Because of this, the most likely explanation for this type of traffic would be users using the Internet through a VPN.

However, a negative effect of hosting thousands of self-managed servers is that some users fail to take proper security measures leading their droplets to be compromised. If you believe the traffic you are seeing to be malicious you should file an abuse report here so our team can investigate. Please be sure to provide as much information as possible (including log snippets) when submitting your report.
