>If you have a public IP connected to the internet, you will be subjected to attacks and port scans either way. Yes, and somehow it magically happened this way that during decades of having access to internet we were being DDoSed only when targeted by ppl from the game that had access to our IPs from TeamSpeak/Ventrilo, right? Because what incentives attacker would have to DDoS random IPs? >Configure your network and firewall correctly and ensure no ports are open instead of trusting the false sense of security given by some proprietary vendor who has your data. Again, put effort, time to manage firewalls and security solutions. I'm not even sure if this would work this way. They purchase $5 (or who knows how much nowadays) stressers and DDoS your IP, so even your ISP feels it and you lose internet access. My friend's village had no internet access for X hours. And all of that for actually what? solving issue which could be easily avoided?
