Ok, just tried out the following VPN provider/client combo, and, while I think it's currently running under a 7-day trial of their premium service offering, it seemed to allow me to run through a full run against the one hetzner-hosted host name, etc., and, while the interface is not 100% perfect, it's usable:

Hi there


This is probably not completely off-topic, but, was previously using openVPN at 
times when running tests against our servers hosted via hetzner, since some of 
the multiple/repetitive FTP connections would end up with them blocking my IP 
for a little while.


However, they've now, apparently, made a decision that openVPN gets used by too 
many torrent protocol clients, and are thus blocking it, so, was wondering if 
anyone would have recommendations relating to alternatives in terms of a form 
of VPN software client, etc.?


And, FWIW, this is on windows 10 PC's, and, would prefer the UI to be 
accessible, or via command line, etc.


Altnernatively, since my current connections are via LTE/mobile phones,
all running android, suppose could alternatively use an android package
to handle this?


Hope this makes sense


TIA
