Hello guys, so I have been self hosting a bunch of stuff for some years now. But I want to increase the protection of the services I host.

I was thinking of using a VPS just for ddos protecting my services like game servers, web servers, email etc.

Any suggestion on how to set this up well? I was thinking of routing all traffic from the VPS back home with wireguard. My connection is gigabit so I don’t think the performance impact will be too big, any suggestion on which proxy, VPS and other things to use?

    Why would someone DDoS you?

        @IAMgROOT @auzy1 Why would someone spend their resources trying to get money from a stranger’s home internet connection. Is OP a secret millionaire whose daughter is getting married in Hawaii and they’re watching the live stream and willing to pay a $10k ransom to watch it?
