Comment on Ways to Expose Services Publicly

I also run private servers on hidden subdomains (with wildcard certs and DNS entries), so the low effort scanners never bother them.
DDOS attacks take money, so they aren’t typically going to go after some random homelabber. If it did happen, I would either just shut it off for a while or change the VPs IP. Ovh also has some of its own ddos protection.

That sounds perfect, I might go with ovh, how do you like them? The $4.54/mo plan looks cool

Their admin interface is slow and awkward, but otherwise happy. Their deals are always changing and I currently have good specs for the money. EU company and my machine is in Montreal, so I was happy with non-American hosting and green electricity.

Epic. You probably don’t use the admin interface too much right? Probably just configure your reverse proxy a leave it. Gonna rent a vps here in the states.

Indeed, I log in pretty rarely.
