I have had no reports of abuse with my partial exit for a couple of years, then suddenly OVH kills the server
(Reinstalling is a pain and IPV6 not autoloaded and they and Ubuntu keep changing networking) Anyway
“Abnormal activity has been detected on your VPS vps585081.ovh.net.
As your VPS poses too greater threat to our infrastructure, we had no choice but to put it in FTP rescue mode. This mode enables you to access the data on your VPS. An email containing information on FTP rescue mode has been sent to you.
Actions can no longer be carried out on your VPS via your Manager/API. Only the following actions are possible:
- Reinstallation of your VPS.
Please do not hesitate to contact our technical support team so that this situation does not become critical.
You will find the logs brought up by our system below, which led to this alert.

When I fire it up how to mitigate against this? My new server with the original IPV4 address is under attack already but tor is not running yet
