That is true but as per the poster above, I've seen 10x the attack traffic on a DO IP address so any zero-days and you're already herded into a predictable net block ready to be poked.

This is true for pretty much any VPS-only hoster, they all have well defined ranges and tons of targets to attack. I see thousands of attempts a day at Linode and hundreds at Leaseweb (dedi and VPSes) and DO. It's just part of doing business.

It's certainly true for dedicated-only hosters too.

I guess I should have said 'personal server', not like AWS or Google's Cloud platforms.
