Were you running a proxy or something on their box? I did that once to stream Netflix when overseas and they bugged me about that too.

barely running anything but docker/dokku on the box.

I thought these were regular info you have to provide to sign up and run the droplet. How did you sign up withholding these info while you use your credit card?

With my credit card! never got asked.

I signed up with PayPal and used the $50 Black Friday code. I just gave them my first name and e-mail address.

If they start making it mandatory that we have to give them a URL for a personal blog, company website, Facebook profile, etc, I'm going to find a new host.
