I am considering hosting something and am concerned about DDOS attacks.
I am morally opposed to cloudflare because I think they are an unethical and shitty company.
What privacy focused solutions are there to reduce the likelihood of a successful DDOS attack?
As little as possible. This will probably be a low traffic site. I just want something cheap and not cloudflare.
Make your website all static files (if you can) and host on a CDN like Bunny.net. It’s $1/month and your website might actually be able to get through some large traffic spikes. It won’t work against a targeted sustained DDoS but like the other comments said that’s not likely to happen.
