How convenient for Amazon to block a competitor this way :(

Not sure what firewall rules you're referring to, but I'm genuinely surprised to see DO being trusted more than Hetzner. I often see DO's ASN when looking at scrapers/hackers, so I'd say it's only a matter of time until they're blocked as well.

DO IPs are way worse.

source: moved away from DO for this very reason.

I wrote about this on a Tor thread.

It looks like Hetzner is Tor (and Tor adjacent) friendly, I suggested this might affect IP reputation, 2 users responded they had no IP reputation issues. But it looks like that wasn't quite the whole story

It seems that Hetzner holds 7% of the Tor network. (if I understood the table right)

ironically, blocking aws and azure solved 99% of my bot problems. zero users affected.

so much that I'm thinking of selling nothing but an aws and azure blocker as a service.
