Prohibited Applications and Activities

Our Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) explains the terms of using our services. You must comply with these policies and engage only in legal activities.

​
1. Zero-Tolerance Offences

The following violations will result in account termination and legal action:

🚨 Child Sexual Abuse Material CSAM

  • Hosting or distributing CSAM will lead to immediate account termination and reporting to authorities.

🦠 Malware & Botnets

C2 Servers, sinkholes, droppers, phishing kits or similar tools lead to immediate termination - no warnings are sent.

🔓 Unauthorized Access

Attempts to tamper with EDBB infrastructure or upstream carriers void your service agreement immediately.

🌪️ DDoS Operations

Launching attacks (booter services), any kind of stress testing, or using EDBB infrastructure for attacks is prohibited.

🛍️ Counterfeit Commerce, "fake shops"

  • Hosting websites selling counterfeit products (e.g., fake Nike, Adidas, Moncler, …) leads to account suspension.

​
2. Network and Platform Safeguards

The following activities are forbidden and will lead to account suspension or termination.

  • Maximum of 10 simultaneously configured IPv6 addresses per VPS.
  • Rapid rotation or randomized usage (random IPv6 proxies) are not allowed.
  • Flooding the Neighbor Discovery cache leads to account termination.

🕵️ Scanning

Unauthorized port scans, vulnerability probing against third-party infrastructure are not allowed. (Get in touch to obtain an exempt if you are a security firm conducting contractual work).

🛡️ TOR & Anonymity

Entry nodes and middle relays are allowed; TOR exit nodes, I2P outproxies, and similar egress services are forbidden.

💬 IRC Hosting

IRC workloads attract attacks. Review the Advisory for High-Risk Clients before deploying IRC-related services.

​
4. Staying Compliant

  • Keep your contact details up-to-date so you can respond quickly to abuse notifications.
  • Apply strong passwords, MFA, and regular patching to prevent compromised workloads.
  • Unsure about an edge case? Contact EDBB Support for clarification before deploying.
Following these guidelines keeps the network safe for everyone and ensures your services stay online without interruption.

​
5. Security Research and Authorized Testing Activities

We actively support verified security research and controlled commercial testing. If your work includes hosting sinkholes, operating honeypots, monitoring network segments, conducting forensic or traffic analysis, or performing authorized stress and resilience tests — we can provide suitable exemptions and infrastructure guidance. Security software developers, accredited research teams, and governmental entities conducting legitimate investigations are welcome to collaborate under predefined security frameworks.
