How would you protect files of a VPS (Virtual Private Server) from snooping by the service provider?

    Do VPSs typical give you LOM? Honest question. Maybe LUKs isn’t good if you can’t console in.

      LUKS, or anything that relies on the server encrypting, is highly vulnerable (see [email protected]’s response).

      Your best bet would be encrypting client side before it arrives on the server using a solution like rclone, restic, borg, etc.

      Yeah, at least the ones I used have some kind of console/terminal you can use and often you can access BIOS and reinstall the OS if you want.
