It's not hard to make your own Cloudflare-alike. I helped bootstrap this for an organization in the non profit space which now serves dozens of threatened web sites. I even created a monitoring/rotation system that takes care of much of the minute to minute work. The hard part outside state funding is making it profitable / sustainable for real emergencies. But the nature of DDOS is it's largely about fighting fire with fire so basically needs a lot of distributed hosts.
This is an area I'd like to see a peer solution be successful, a bittorrent for hosting with no central dependencies.
- mxpxrocks10 12y agoright on. what did you use for your stack when you bootstrapped?
- davidy123 12y agoPretty basic stuff. Apache traffic server, nagios, the monitoring/rotation is in nodejs, some scripts to tie it together and a lot of cheap VMs around the world. You can learn more about it at https://wiki.deflect.ca/wiki/Main_Page https://wiki.deflect.ca/wiki/Main_Page , but I'm no longer involved in that project.
