I rent 4 servers at OVH, They asked for copy of passport and some government letter to prove my name and adress. I sent them (encrypted of course), got my 4 servers, and they run as a charm.

> Hi,
> Im running an exit relay for 116 days. Today i received an email from my ISP saying that my account has been locked for security reasons.
> They asked me to send a copy of my identity card and a selfie holding it. I found that very odd and i feel uncomfortable sending that data to them.
> Should i give up to running my exit relay and find another ISP?
> By the way, i had received an abuse complaint a day before, due to Brute force attempts.
