Optimal Techniques to Prevent Abuse Reports

Closed this issue · 1 comments

Hey, I've been wanting to attempt using this tool, and recently got around to doing so. However, despite resorting to a slow and steady packet rate, seeing as I'm comfortable with the idea of waiting several days for final results, I still received an email from my host (Hetzner) naturally having tripped their abuse detection in which I had to issue a statement to prevent my server from being terminated.

Thankfully, since I pretty much never get caught in these kinds of situations, they took me at my word that it was an honest mistake. However, I'm still hoping to go ahead with using this tool, but I'd like to know some best practises for achieving it so that I don't trip abuse warnings for my host or their ISP(s).

To be completely honestly with you, there isn't particularly a way around this. The two main options you have are to either run it on a VPS provider who doesn't care about complaints or run it on your personal network and cross your fingers.
