I think if there could be a VPS option in the setup which could provide some default options for that environment.
The default options for the VPN environment should include:
- Tighter firewall security and features such as Fail2Ban and dynamically blocking known rogue IP addresses (like the script located in the following post here)
- Include OpenVPN and other VPN options by default and enable SSH on a non-standard port by default.
- Include a setup template which can be customised so new VPSes can be created or spun up dynamically without the need for them to be manually customised. The AWS E3 auto-scaling groups are good reference point for those who are interested. (@alefattorini - you can see where this is going can’t you

)Off the top of my head, these are the 3 main topics or areas which I would consider a good starting point for discussion.
