# DediGPU — Acceptable use policy

> What may and may not run on a DediGPU server: attacks, malware, spam and illegal content are out; training, serving, rendering and full-power workloads are welcome.

*Effective 2 September 2026, last updated 2 September 2026*

## The short version

- It is your server. Run it at full power, all month. That is what the cost sheet assumes.
- Out: attacks on anyone, malware and command-and-control, phishing, spam, sexual content involving minors, content illegal where the server sits, and generating intimate imagery of real people without consent.
- Reports of abuse are forwarded to you with 24 hours to answer. Ongoing harm is stopped by suspending the server.

## 1. The principle

You rent the whole machine and you decide what runs on it. This policy exists for the cases where what runs on it harms someone else: another tenant, our network, a third party, or the law of the country where the server sits.

## 2. What is allowed, explicitly

- Training, fine-tuning and serving models of any size, on any data you have the right to use.
- Rendering, simulation, scientific computing, video processing.
- Running the GPUs at 100 % for the whole term. The power line of the cost sheet assumes a fleet average of 70 %; individual servers at full load are expected and welcome.
- Cryptocurrency mining. It is rarely profitable on rented hardware, but it is not our business to stop you.
- Tor relays, VPN endpoints and proxies you run for yourself or your users. Tor exit nodes are not allowed: their abuse reports land on us.
- Legal adult content.
- Security research on systems you own or are authorised to test.

## 3. What is not allowed

- Attacks of any kind: denial of service, scanning or brute-forcing systems you are not authorised to test, exploitation, credential stuffing.
- Malware: hosting, distributing or controlling it, botnet command-and-control, exploit kits.
- Fraud: phishing pages, fake shops, scam infrastructure, impersonation.
- Unsolicited bulk email or messaging. Outbound port 25 is closed by default and opened only on request with a stated purpose.
- Sexual content involving minors, in any form, including generated. This is reported to the authorities and the account is closed.
- Generating intimate imagery of real, identifiable people without their consent.
- Content that is illegal in the country where the server is located, including infringing content distributed at scale.
- Anything that damages the hardware or interferes with other tenants (for example, deliberately tripping power or thermal protections).

## 4. Network use

Ports are unmetered and egress is free. Sustained saturation of a port is fine on its own; if it measurably degrades other tenants on the same switch we will ask you to spread the load, and we may move you to a 25 Gbit/s port at cost. We filter spoofed source addresses and blackhole servers that are the target of a volumetric attack until it passes.

## 5. How reports are handled

Abuse reports reach us through a ticket in the console. A credible report is forwarded to you in the console and you have 24 hours to answer. If the report describes ongoing harm (an attack in progress, a phishing page live, malware being served), the server is suspended first and you are told at once. A first, minor breach is a warning; a repeated or serious one closes the account without refund of the running term. Unused balance is refunded unless the law forbids it.

## 6. Reporting abuse to us

If a server on our network is attacking you or hosting something illegal, open a ticket in the console with the IP address, timestamps in UTC and logs or a URL. We answer every report.
