Matt That does indeed help. Thank you. I guess that what I was seeing was mostly tor client attempts. As for my VPS provider, they still haven't answered my questions as to why they shut down my machine without telling me. I suspect the DDOS excuse was just that, an excuse. I'm probably one of the few users who actually get anywhere near the full bandwidth allocation I pay for. Given that the VPS is cheap (and probably on a box which is oversold) it's entirely possible my usage is stretching the resource, and they don't like that. Ho Hum. Time to look for another provider.
