Hetzner removes traffic limitation for dedicated servers

I don't remember providing them with ID but I've been a customer for a long time, maybe it's a recent requirement. It's worth opening a dialog with them if you're having issues - you'll be conversing with a real person and they can probably be persuaded.

A couple of months ago I purchased a VPS from them. They also required ID (passport) to verify identity, but what was surprising that they suggested using their gpg keys to encrypt the image before sending.

Their argument is, that requiring an ID has solved most of the fraud problems.

They lost my business when they required a passport. Like hell I'm showing you that. If they wanna see my face they can look up my name on social media.

They don't want to see your face they want to see official papers proving you to be a unique person.

I don't see any advantage over using SSL (especially if they serve the public key on the same website)
