/diy/ - Do It Yourself

hello /diy/
planning to host game servers from my home network
my current obstacle as i conceptualize this is deciding how I want external connections to be passed to my game server while minimizing the risk of suffering a ddos attack on my home network
should i:
>rent a cheap vps that is capable enough to serve as the game server's front end which passes external connections received by the VPS through a wireguard tunnel to my Home Server
and/or
>research optimal practices for mitigating effects from ddos attacks (experience from other /diy/ home server anons would help greatly)
