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?

Thanks for the detailed explanation. As my understanding about ddos protection goes. It is mainly needing the capacity to redirect bad traffic and let normal trafic true. not outright block it. So having that capacity in front of a 1gb connection shouldn't be a issue?

Also I can't really put all my services on a VPS that cost would be way to high. A second option I have been thinking about is moving my servers in to a data center. But I like to be able to easily access them. My uptime is over 95% at home already due to having most things on a UPS (and a large home battery with more then enough solar) backups can still be improved which I do have planned. Multiple backups are already in place though.
