Rules

Last updated 31 August 2026. Changes are announced on the News page.

Roostwire exists for hosting game servers and the ordinary things that sit next to them. Use it for that and we will get along fine.

Run what is yours to run. Your game servers, your apps, your services. Nothing you lack the rights to, and nothing illegal where you or your players are.

Do not point it at other people. No attacking, flooding, scanning or harassing anyone through the service. No using it to hide where abuse comes from.

No hidden control channels. The service carries game servers and the things that run beside them, in the open. Running command-and-control infrastructure, botnet coordination, beaconing from fleets of devices, or channels built to conceal remote control of machines gets the account removed and, where the law requires, reported.

No malware, no phishing, no scams. Not hosted, not distributed, not linked.

Do not resell the network. Hosting for your community is what this is for; wrapping our service in a product of your own is not.

Be reasonable with shared capacity. The relays are shared. Deliberately soaking them to hurt other customers is a fast way to lose the account.

What happens otherwise. Staff can suspend an account and flag it for review. Serious or repeated cases are removed, and where the law requires it, reported. Suspension cuts every address of the account at once.
