What's a good setup for a medium sized site to use that would protect it from off the shelf attacks?

- joshmn 11y agoIf you're only web, you should be perfectly fine behind CloudFlare.
- toast0 11y agoThe only real defense is to serve your site from somewhere with more incoming bandwidth than incoming abuse. Afaik, the only type of filtering you're likely to get from an upstream provider is null routing of attacked ips, which helps protect their network, but doesn't help you serve users (you can switch ips, but abusers will likely switch too)
- giancarlostoro 11y agoWe used to use TCP proxies when I ran a game server where skiddies would try to attack it. I know buyvm.net is where we got one small $15 a year VPS with $3 a month "DDOS protection", not sure if we ever had issues after that with DDoS or not, we kept getting more and more proxies. We would give users a different one upon refreshing the page (it was a browser based game, but they would connect to a game server via TCP). I know the Minecraft community offers proxies as well. If you're on HTTP though, cloudflare is one of the cheaper options.
