And if I want to have my own server?
Any IP space is by definition shared, it just makes no sense to block an entire space!
Digital Ocean has a hacker that they refuse to drop as a customer. I have complained about “stretchoid” for months. Unfortunately the abusedb.com is down, but here is a typical complaint about “stretchoid” using Google archive: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:t8U31PZvMlIJ:https://www.abuseipdb.com/check/45.55.21.98+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us
Can Spamhaus block an entire IP space. Yes they can. If they feel the vendor is doing nothing to control spam and hacking, they block the entire range with the assumption that the hacker will just get a new IP in that range.
I posted a rant on this very topic a few days ago with little response.
I use FreeBSD, otherwise I would have left Digital Ocean a few months ago.
This is very understandable result and I also blocked all Digital Ocean IPs to protect our customer. I guess most of service providers who has brain would do the same.
also firewalls automatically share the scanner IPs and no.1 will be Digital Ocean. and they do not seem to care as long as the IPs are not UK and IE.
