Ask HN: Is it possible to avoid Bandwidth DDoS attacks without Cloudflare? (ycombinator.com)
Hi. If I implement IP-based rate-limiting in my web application hosted on a VPS, it can help in preventing over-usage of paid API etc. But what if someone tries to exhaust the bandwidth that the VPS host allocates to my box, by simply making HTTP requests en masse? Even if I return 429 for all of them, my bandwidth is still gone, right? Is there any solution for this apart from seeking protection of Cloudflare and the like?
