sorry i dont agree, most seedbox providers with ssh access dont proper secure the logs on the seedbox ifself. so you as a normal ssh user are able to access the logfiles. this means by default:
* connecting ip
* username
* on nginx/apache logs even the file what was requested

SO PLEASE USE AN VPN ON EVERY CONNECTION TO THE SEEDBOX, THIS IS THE MOST SECURE WAY!
