The VPN disguises your source address. While you may not be using this for nefarious purposes, in fact you might not care about your source address (using the VPN to get around ISP monitoring perhaps…

As a person who has operated other websites that were essentially DDOS magnets, a fair bit of abuse does come from hosting IP ranges, which are the same places where VPNs are hosted.

There are other ways to protect from DDOS, like nginx rate-limit, firewall rules, etc.

I mean it is widely known that you shutdown Hetzner servers via their abuse department with no effort compared to ddos.

We arent a reseller we work with DDoS protected networks to realize our product which we develop in-house.

- DDoS Protection

Then theres X4B but they are reseller that builded their own anti-ddos system over other providers as far as I know. Basically a remote tunnel.

Anyone have good/bad experiences with protection in locations like Asia, South America, Africa, or anywhere else outside the US and EU?

DDoS Protection:

Experiencing the same issue. Not only with Wireguard, but also with other UDP applications. if OVH sees UDP traffic above >200/300 mbps, it will detect it as ddos.

Note that the DNS port 53 is unlikely to work better, as DDoS filters are likely to ratelimit DNS much more strictly than other UDP. But oh well, could still try that one and see what that does, who r

Just tried running iperf over the WG tunnel to max out the bandwidth -- did not get any DDoS mitigation triggered. Tried both ways as well. Could be that in my DC (RBX) or on Kimsufi, the DDoS thresho

have a lot more options if you don't need the DDoS protection.

WireGuard uses UDP and OVH falsely detects any large quantity of UDP packets from a single IP as a DDoS attack and blocks it. Good luck getting them to fix that.

I don't run much else on the server beyond just a small web server so I don't think it's that. My best guess is that the entropy of the wireguard tunnel is tripping some kind of DDoS detection algorit
