How would you protect files of a VPS (Virtual Private Server) from snooping by the service provider?

    Thanks for the comments. I agree on the general consensus, that once an encryption key enters the VPS, the encryption is compromised.

    However, I’m thinking more in practical terms, eg. the service provider doing just casual scanning across all disks of VPS instances. Some examples could be: cloud authentication keys, torrc files, specific installed software, SSH private keys, TLS certificates.
