Amazon Lightsail DDOS-protection ?

Hi,
Does anyone know whether AWS Lightsail includes a DDOS-protection. I found "AWS Shield Standard", which is to be included for free in all AWS products, ben then at the Lightsail site there is no reference whatsoever ...
If there was no DDOS -protection: how can one protect him/herself against the bandwidth overage charges linked to a DDOS attack ?
Thanks

Order a cheap DDoS Protected VPS and use GRE tunnel ?
Thanks for the tip: that is indeed a possibility, but I want to have a single point of contact for my server.
@Bopie Can you tell me more about it?
Makes sense, I wish i could help more for information on their ddos protection but im clueless
Not worth the risk for the poor performance people are reporting from lightsail.
Then just order and use a cheap DDOS protected VPS and don't bother with Lightsail entirely.
The answer is to get a slice
