> hammered with constant root hacks. That happens to every server exposed to the internet. Unless there is a targeted ddos event its usually on the level of a query or two per second AT MOST or so. Its something most people don't worry about because theres no way around it. If you need ddos protection you put the server behind cloudflare or something like it. Its totally fine to raw dog the internet without a firewall in my opinion if the server only has a single web server that you keep updated and sanitize your inputs. Running other services on the same server without a firewall becomes horrible though youre right. lol
