YES. They will know the IP is from a VPS. But it's no differnt than using a VPN bought from either of the two sellers on this forum. They know those IP's come from a Data Center (VPS) as well. The only problem I see with Digital Ocean is that its so well known by young people, you would most likely get a lot more scans on your ports than with other less known VPS providers (like one every 30 seconds or less). If you don't know how to secure your server you may run into problems.



(Disable root login, add user, sudo privileges, change passwd, change ssh port, disable password login, use ssh authorized_keys, and make a thorough iptables firewall that closes all incoming unused ports, block null packets, prevent syn flood attacks, and only allows connection to server by your IP or IP's).



IP ALONE WILL NOT LINK ACCOUNTS, so I wouldn't worry about that.



Digital Ocean is fairly priced, kind of on the high side though. For example I have a Server I pay $9 a year for.



Digital Ocean is the BEST place for tutorials. There is no reason you should have to trust some script. If you use this VPS/VPN for anything to do with money or your banking info I wouldn't trust anyone. I'd want to set it up myself.



There are a lot of free one command server set ups, but what will that teach you? I'm actually surprised I haven't heard about anyone on this forum getting hacked yet and their PP used. So many people here trust what ever free/cheap program or service they can find to get back selling online.



I guess the more knowledge you have the more you realize what's possible, and how easy it would be to do.





** yesterday I was reading WIRED and found this new VPN that sets it's self up in very few commands from your local machine to your server. Usually you have to ssh into the server and set everything up. This you install on your local machine, give it the IP and login info of the server, and it sets it's self up. It uses multiple protocols including OpenVPN. I think its targeted at censorship but I found it interesting and was going to post about it yesterday. It secures the server as well from what I read. It's made for Digital Ocean droplets and other well known Virtual Private Servers, or any server running Ubuntu 16.04 And it's FREE.

If you want the best free VPN software, go with SoftEther.

Sorry, not going to happen. The reason its cheap is because not everyone know about it... You have to rent from resellers. Not the Data Center it's self.

look yourself in the lowendbox forums classified section.

Why am I not surprised that question came from a iPhone user...

So doesn't this mean there is no big difference between them?

Thanks man!

tldr; paypal will not take action against accounts with IPs in datacenters? (VPS or VPN or whatever)

It is looked at no differently than getting a already made VPN from this forum... (unless they bribe EB&PP to take it easy on their IP's). what are the odds of that? a billion to one?

With any Data Center IP you have to start out slower selling low risk items. Wait the 90 days, then go about business as normal. Using Data Center IP's is normal, probably 25% or more of the population use them at work.

If you want to cover all bases, start the accounts with cellular IP by tethering, then break out the VPN after the 90 days.

I have verified with WireX but the address is in Switzerland. Can I add my wireX VCC to paypal and use it for purchases?
I ask because the billing address will be different on paypal and wireX. Will paypal be able to see this, and then limit my account?
Any other way to fund the account safely? I am making purchases, not selling, unlike most people here.

I have no idea when it comes to accounts outside the US. As for address not matching, that will be a problem. I'm about 90% sure you need the zip code to match like here in the US. I have no idea how to solve your problem.

Well, I can only speak from my experience. My parent's eBay account shows up as a linked account on my eBay account. With a message saying something like "let us know if one of the accounts shown is not yours".

I've used http://affiliatestealth.com IP's which as far as I can tell are super real residential IP's. When chatting with them they showed me a picture of a bunch of PC's in some clothes closet. And they even have an IP Changer software that lets you swap IP on demand. Pretty cool. My Paypal accounts have not had any issues.
