Reverse proxy?
Hi, i would like to protect my two vps with some "cloudfare like" reverse proxy. The idea is to use a DDoS protected VPS in order to protect from DDoS and hide the real server IPs.
Also i would like to maintain the cerificates for encrypted connections (https, mail, jabber etc.) on the original VPSs and not on the proxy one (like instead, if i understands well cloudflare do).
So, firstly I should build a VPN between all my VPSs, right? Then? Can I actually proxy services like also the dns (my two boxes are also the two nameservers of my domain)?

And then you just draw the rest of the f-ing owl.
It doesn't make sense to "proxy" DNS, you can NAT it, but this will be difficult to get right. And since you need at least two nameservers on separate externally visible IPs, which means needing two DDoS-protected VPSes, and at which point why not just run the actual DNS servers on those.
I have lighttpd on my kimsufi with mod_proxy forwarding stuff to my main server, as it forwards the connecting IP to your script (SERVER["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"]). You can also do this with nginx and haproxy I think, but lighttpd seems easier to me.
@sz1hosting sells a reverse proxy I think?
Yes we do sell:

Canadian Reverse Proxy - Location: Beauharnois, CA
TCP Reverse Proxy
Obviously i don't want a step by step tutorial, just a picture of the architecture and the software involved.
Thank you but i like to have full control on everything i use and i definitely need something like 10 or more ports.
Thanks i'll look at it.
OVH will not like it.
GRE tunnel might help I think? http://wiki.buyvm.net/doku.php/gre_tunnel
1 of the admins added this to our order form i will contact ovh and check with them and hold any orders until i get a reply from ovh regarding the tcp proxys, thanks.
Good luck getting a response from them...
Here's my cheap and dirty method
Buy a $2.99 OVH VPS, Setup a GRE Tunnel or Nginx Reverse proxy or something ghetto like a VPN server on the OVH VPS and a VPN Client on the target
The GRE Tunnel is highly recommended Here's info on how to set one up fairly easy
