Is self-hosted OpenVPN on a vps safe enough for p2p? (lemmy.today)

As the title says, I have my own instance of OpenVPN running in a vps (default settings). Is that "safe" enough for p2p? Any settings I should change? Anything I should watch out for? I guess it would show that the IP address of my vps will be going to these p2p sites and connecting to the IP address of whoever I'm transferring from, but how hard is it for the vps traffic to be traced back to me?

no. it all depends on the vps provider. linode for example has sent me emails about detecting torrent traffic, and threatens to end my service. if a government asked them for logs, i assume they would send them right over.
