@kylian0087 @slazer2au “routing all traffic from the VPS back home” You’re back to square one as soon as you DDOSed yourself. Have you actually been DDOSed before? Are you somebody that attackers want to target? If you’ve never been the victim of an attack, and you’re neither large nor famous, it’s unlikely that you ever will. Your home internet connection can be DDOSed with or without services hosted on it, but it takes resources to attack something, so most attackers want a worthy target. That said, there are reasons to want a VPS. They are likely to have a higher uptime than your home services, so running something like email can ensure it stays up even if your internet/power go out. Similarly, it can be useful to have critical files stored there in case of a fire (as part of your 3-2-1 backup plan). For a game server, it can be useful for multiplayer because it may have lower latency to the other players. If you’re going to get a VPS, put your services on the VPS. If you’re going to rent a VPS to run a VPN, just save your money and use a VPN. If your internet connection isn’t constantly loaded, and you’ve never been attacked, and you’re not hosting a popular website, just save your money.
