Hi,

As far as I understand, the short answer should be yes, in most places it’s legal to build and sell VPN services using DigitalOcean Droplets, as long as you’re not using them for anything illegal.

Just make sure you follow DigitalOcean’s Terms of Service and local laws where you’re operating or selling the service, especially since some countries have specific VPN regulations:

If you’re unsure about anything specific in your setup, it’s always a good idea to reach out to DigitalOcean Support to double-check you’re in the clear.
