Not all of them. Special in case like Hetzner, online.net and similar one.
But they allow to load the server from rescue mode with some linux, what
opens a kind of backdoor where you run QEMU to install OpenBSD :)
You may achive some kind of semi-automatic installation with answer files,
but QEMU uses only tftp-server-name which support was removed at 7.0, so,
semi-automatic installation via QEMU works for OpenBSD up to 6.9.
Does not make much sense discussing this here. Even if OpenBSD would
encrypt the vmm layer as well, there is no way to setup OpenBSD with
such a provider in a way not risking someone to be able to break
security. Moved away from very stressful Alfahosting to Contabo.
Alfahosting once thought it would be cool to just assign a new IP
address and things like that. Contabo at least offers to setup a VPS
with custom iso images providing VLC console access and such. From a
security point of view, this makes no sense at all discussing this here.
There is no security with those kind of setups and we all know it. I am
just glad I can run OpenBSD there.
