Using a VPS for ddos protection? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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?

Depends on what kind of DDoS OP wants to defend against. Defending against an AI crawler DDoS is entirely possible with a tiny VPS. I've been doing that for the past ~1.5 years on a €4/month CX23 Hetzner VPS.
