New Take on DDoS protection
I like to keep up with the latest going-ons of the webhosting community and I found this interesting article at Unixy who are managed hosting providers. The basic idea around it is to spread out the attack over multiple Nginx reverse proxy nodes so that your main server is not the focus of the attack. It’s really a great idea if you have a single large site that is a target of a DDoS. I really hate DDoS attacks and have spent many sleepless nights fending them off and I hate losing sleep. It may seen common sense to some, but it really is a low tech solution which generally requires much more expensive hardware and expertise.
