Comment on Using a VPS for ddos protection?

You could do it that way. You could use something like Cloudflare Tunnels/Zero Trust where you’d get DDoS protection for tunneled hostnames http/https. If you’re looking for raw tcp/udp arbitrary ports protection, they have a paid Spectrum protection plan.
I don’t know your specific situation, but after all these years of self hosting, I can’t say as I’ve ever experienced a DDoS attack. Not saying they don’t happen or that it isn’t a concern. I’ve experienced someone hacking my server, but I was super green back then and undoubtedly didn’t have the proper protections in order.
Most of your reputable, well established VPS vendors like Digital Ocean, Linode, Vultr, offer DDoS protections. Some like Hetzner offer multiple tiers of DDoS protection.
