Hello, A problem ive had for awhile is that im frequently attacked by ddos. It had gotten to the point where im looking server grade ddos protection on my pc. Im curious though are there other solutions to this? Im not too sure how the network stuff works so would a VPN do the trick? Or is more needed? And if i do need higher tier protection any good providers?

Just a curious question, are you doing something that will cause such a "high" rate of a DDoS or DoS attack?

There is essentially nothing you can do to protect a domestic land line from DoS attacks. Once the traffic has saturated your connection, you're done. Protection needs to be implemented up-stream, i.e. at the ISP level.

Now if you're talking about being one step ahead, that's a different ball game. You can use VPNs, as suggested, to hide your WAN IP address, so that when you are targeted by a DoS attack, it'll be directed at the VPN service, not your house.

VPN would be able to hide your IP so attackers would not be able to take down your home connection but it will do nothing during a direct attack.

 

Just power cycle your modem, or release/renew the ISP's DHCP IP assign to you and hope for a new IP.

Im curious as to what you are doing if it's so frequent also if you have a dynamic ip from your isp you can just turn your modem off for 10 seconds and you should get a new ip.

If its direct at the VPN will it still find its way to me?

No it't hitting the VPN's server instead of you.
