So I got this Singapore VPS from OVHcloud. 2 vCPU, 4GB RAM, NVMe. €7/mo which is fine. But I'm routing WireGuard through it for my home network. Traffic exits in SG, I've never set foot there. What happens if some user on my LAN does something stupid? Am I on the hook under SG law?
I know the RAM is overkill for just WireGuard but I run monitoring stack too. Still. The jurisdiction thing keeps me up.
Anyone actually talked to a lawyer about this or just YOLO?
You are just transit. That traffic passes through you like water in pipe. Nobody cares about small VPS doing this.
But actually I say: Singapore has strict rules about this things. Going to be careful, no?
Hosting in jurisdiction you do not comprehend is the classical error, voilà. The provider Terms of Service, the local Computer Misuse Act, the extradition treaties—all of these layers matter. One does not simply route and pray.
Actually the relevant factor is the nexus of control and the datacenter's legal entity agreement with the hosting provider, or? Under most jurisdictions the mere transit provider is not liable for the content unless there is actual knowledge and willful blindness which brings us to the DMCA and its Singaporean equivalents

(here we go) (the "just transit" people always show up first) (as if "transit" has ever stopped a raid in practice) (ask anyone who ran exit nodes) (the EFF had to intervene how many times?) (not that Singapore has EFF) (they have... other methods) the lawyer will appear soon or we'll all keep guessing
