Sebastian, That's the spirit!
To me that feels like the right thinking. In etc/hostname there is just ubuntu. In the details for the VPS the hostname is VM#16 which I can't change there. Therefore what would be correct to put in the etc/hostname file? Is it useful to know that the ip address I PuTTY into is 38.68.15.116 but the one in Tor's log with blocked ports is 173.208.211.179? They traceroute to different places but I can log in through either.
