TonisBoss 16 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I got VPS server and I want to protect it from DDOS attacks. I did some firewall rules at freebsd but i think it isn't much. Is there and option from third-party protection? My hosting provider hasn't DDOS protection. My website runs at different IP. Thank you in Advance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
covfefe 32 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) Well you need to get with a hosting provider that provides DDoS protection. That's usually the first line of defence and you're compromising on it. Increase your bandwidth capacity too.

TonisBoss 16 Posted January 11, 2022 Author Share Posted January 11, 2022 Do you know any host that provides FreeBSD 13.0? OVH doesn't provide FreeBSD in any vps server or game server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OVH doesn't provide FreeBSD in any vps server or game server. To be honest, I haven't hosted a server in years, so, not to the best of my knowledge. Have you checked Hetzner out? Btw why FreeBSD 13.0 specifically, if I may ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just know that using firewall as a sole DDoS protection is a bad idea. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JarajTo 40 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) You can install freebsd on ovh vps by following this tutorial https://community.ovh.com/en/t/installing-operating-system-from-custom-image-on-ovh-vps-centos-8-tutorial/3561 Edited January 12, 2022 by JarajTo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matteo 47 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) 10Gbit/s OVH Server is the only solution you can get. Otherwise you are easily attackable. Even OVH 1Gbit/s has some exploit and they can make your server offline in seconds. 10Gbit/s is really hard to get DDoS, anyone will need a lot of bandwith to make your server unavailable. For web, PAID Cloudflare (MAYBE!!!). Only if our project is very serious, because 10Gbit is $$$$$$$$$. Otherwise any OVH Dedicated Game Server.
