Acceptable Use Policy

Last updated 10 August 2026.

This policy exists for a practical reason. Peeryn servers share their addresses and their bandwidth between customers, and they sit on networks that other people run. A small amount of abuse gets an entire server blocked or withdrawn, and everyone on it loses their connection. Keeping to this policy is what keeps the service working.

It forms part of our Terms of Service and applies to everyone using a Peeryn server, including people whose access a company pays for.

Not permitted

You must not use the service to:

• Break the law of the United States, of the country the server is in, or of the country you are in.
• Share, store, distribute or seek material that sexually exploits or abuses children. There is no warning and no second chance for this: access ends immediately and we report it to the authorities.
• Access any system, account or network you have no permission to access, or scan, probe or test the security of one without its owner's written consent.
• Take part in denial-of-service attacks, traffic floods, or amplification or reflection attacks.
• Send unsolicited bulk email, operate open mail relays, or route mass mailing of any kind through the service.
• Distribute malware, run phishing pages or command-and-control infrastructure, or take part in fraud, carding or credential stuffing.
• Infringe copyright or other intellectual property rights, including large-scale unlicensed file sharing.
• Harass, threaten, stalk or dox anyone.
• Resell, sublicense or share your access with people outside your household or organisation, or work around the device limits you are paying for.
• Run an open proxy, public exit node, or any service that lets unidentified third parties send traffic through your Peeryn address.

Fair use of bandwidth

Servers have monthly bandwidth allowances set by the networks hosting them, and those allowances are shared. Ordinary use, browsing, calls, streaming, work, is what the service is for, and you do not need to think about this.

What we ask you to avoid is sustained saturation of a server: continuous high-throughput transfers, large-scale seeding, or bulk mirroring that runs for days. If one account is affecting others on the same server, we will contact you first and try to find a workable answer, such as moving you to a quieter server. We would rather talk to you than throttle you.

Servers you run yourself

If the server is your own hardware, its bandwidth and its address are your business and the fair-use section above does not apply to it. Everything under Not permitted still does, and you remain responsible for the traffic leaving your machine and for answering complaints about it.

How we enforce this

For most problems we will contact you first, explain what we have received, and give you a chance to stop it or explain. We act without notice where the harm is serious or ongoing, child sexual abuse material, an attack in progress, or anything putting a server at immediate risk of being withdrawn by the network hosting it.

Depending on what has happened we may suspend a device, suspend an account, move you to another server, or end your access. Repeated breaches end access permanently. We do not refund periods lost to enforcement action.

We respond to valid legal process and to properly substantiated abuse reports, and we act on what we find. We will not fabricate information we do not hold.

Reporting abuse

If traffic from one of our servers has caused you a problem, please write to abuse@peeryn.com with:

• the Peeryn IP address involved,
• timestamps with the time zone (UTC is ideal),
• and enough of the log or evidence for us to identify what happened.

We read every report. Reports with an address but no timestamp are usually impossible to act on, so please include one.
