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?

You cannot stop a DDOS, you can only mitigate one with more capacity. That's why there are only a few big players who can do it.

Canonical itself was unable to stop a DDOS attack and they're distributed. You won't stop a DDOS if that DDOS is meant for you.
