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?

    I wouldn’t worry about DDOS attacks at all.

    People simply don’t care about whatever small website you plan on hosting. Unless it’s something extremely controversial and you gain a lot of exposure suddenly.

    It’s worth worrying about if you ever get big but until then just forget it.

    I.E. do something about it when/if it happens and not before. A ddos is fairly harmless unless you need to stay up for some reason (and you don’t need to stay up).
