Become a pain in the ass and they'll point to clause L on their website and kill your access.
It's interesting there's no SSH on that list..
What is also interesting is that they don't want you running squid.. because I think they don't want people blocking ads..

outgoing SMTP (port 25 traffic) recently, but checking now, they don't
seem to be blocking it since I could get to my VPS on port 25 from
home no problem.

I *have* been slowly working to get Wireguard setup at home so I can
tunnel over a VPN to my VPS to make some things simpler, so I just
have one end-point on my OPNsense Firewall at home which allows
connections from remote devices into my network.  This way I don't
need quite as many firewall rules on OPNSense.  At least that's the
idea, but lack of time and bugs have slowed my progress here.
