    Hi Eircom, 
    I'm currently subscribed to your eFibre 70Mb down/20Mb up broadband package. I've gotten my hands on a Raspberry Pi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi
    and am wondering...am I allowed to set up my own VPN and/or email server on it and run them through my broadband connection? I have heard before about some ISPs not allowing home servers on residential connections, but am unsure if this is still true today, given the affordability of Network Attached Storage devices. If I set up the VPN (note, I mean making my own, and not just simply subscribing to a commercial VPN) and my email server, would Eircom suspend my account, or do some other action?
    Thanks.

    I'll need to look in to this for you, if you could leave this with me I will get back to you as soon as I have some clarification and more information.

    Thanks
