Acceptable use policy

The short version. Most things hosts forbid are fine here: mining, crypto nodes, Tor relays including exits, VPNs and proxies for other people, torrents and your own mail server. What isn’t fine is harming others. The law still applies to everything.

Last updated 27 October 2026

1. Allowed

  • Cryptocurrency mining and crypto nodes.
  • Tor relays, middle and exit.
  • Proxies and VPNs, including for other people.
  • Torrents.
  • Mail servers. Outbound port 25 is open, and you can set reverse DNS for your IP address.

Allowed doesn’t mean unaccountable: if you run an exit relay, a proxy or a VPN for others, abuse reports about its traffic come to you, and you need to deal with them.

2. Never allowed

  • Child sexual abuse material, in any form. We report it to the authorities.
  • Attacking other systems: DDoS attacks, booters and stressers, unauthorised scanning or intrusion, exploiting vulnerabilities on systems you don’t own.
  • Malware, botnet command servers and phishing.
  • Spam: bulk email to people who didn’t ask for it, or with forged headers.
  • Fraud, and anything else that is illegal where the server is located or where you are.
  • Getting around sanctions, or using LiteKeep on behalf of a person or business under sanctions by the United Nations, the United States, the European Union or the United Kingdom, or for anyone in Cuba, Iran or North Korea. We may check payments and accounts against public sanctions lists, and we refuse or end a service when we find a match.
  • Getting around suspension or billing, for example by opening new accounts after a ban.

3. How we handle abuse reports

  1. Reports go to [email protected]. A report needs the IP address, the time with its time zone, and evidence such as logs, headers or URLs.
  2. We check the report and forward it to you. You have 24 hours to respond and fix the problem.
  3. For an active attack, malware, phishing or child abuse material, we may power the server off first and tell you right after.
  4. Repeated or serious abuse ends the account. That includes Keep and Forever Keep plans.

4. Notices about content

Send notices about content on a server to [email protected]. A notice needs the exact URL or IP address, why the content is illegal or breaks this policy, and your name and email address, unless it is about child abuse material, which can be reported without giving your name.

A DMCA notice is a procedure of United States law. For servers outside the United States it is not a legal order, so we don’t take content down because of a DMCA notice alone. For servers in the United States, we handle copyright notices under United States law, including counter-notices.

That doesn’t mean anything goes. Every notice is checked against these policies and the law where the server is, and content that breaks them comes down, in every location. In EU locations we follow the EU’s Digital Services Act: we act on notices without undue delay, tell the person who sent it what we decided, and give our customer a statement of the reasons for any action. You can contest a decision by replying to it, and a person reviews it.
