Using VPS

Hello, I am interested in several questions. Can I use a VPS? VPS with a permanent ip in Moscow, I myself am from Moscow and can provide documents. Using, VPS violates Upwork rules?

Hi Anton,

 

Could you please clarify if you're referring to VPS, as in a service to host your website? Or are you referring to using a VPN while working on Upwork?

Upwork

Good catch on Valeria's part. The original poster used the wrong abbreviation. He meant "VPN."

 

VPS = Virtual Private Server

VPN = Virtual Private Network.

 

Lots of freelancers ask if they may use VPN.

There are no Upwork rules prohibiting using VPN.

 

I have never seen anybody ask if they can use "VPS".

But that, too, is not a violation of any Upwork rules.

Hi, Preston, I meant to transfer my account to a remote server and log into my account on a remote server. Can I do this?

Yes.

Thank you,  maybe soon i will rent a server

Anton's profile is blocked because he used VPS.    Can you still say "Yes"?

Hi Patricia, 


We won't be able to discuss a status of another person's account here in the Community. In general, there are a number of reasons why a profile may no longer be available for others to view publicly. 

Upwork TOS doesn't prohibit the use of VPS.
