Scared of being DDoS'd / Filtered Droplet?

Posted on June 14, 2016

Hey guys!

So I’m about to release a multiplayer game using nodejs. Am kind of worried about getting DDOS’d, and then my droplet gets offline for around 3 hours I heard?

Is it possible to buy a DDoS-Filtered IP/Droplet instead?

I know there are so many ways to help prevent it. I could use cloudflare now since they support Websockets. Or GRE Tunnel from a BuyVM filtered ip. Cloudflare has a limit on their Websocket connections and they have regular updates (of which ws servers go offline) — Just not sure what to do right now :D
