A cheap VPS hosting
https://anubis.techaro.lol/docs/admin/installation/
as a reverse proxy may work. The VPS will do the work of verifying requests and stopping bad requests from hitting the target resource. Though certainly if the DDoS is a matter of a massive botnet raiding your domain it may not work as well as something like cloudflare
Anubis does not prevent a ddos attack and only shifts the saturation point to your VPS. Anubis is the answer for bots and ai scrappers, not DDoS.
Sure, but to someone running a website out of there house, 100,000 bots trying to hit the site at the same time to scrape it is going to have the same effect. So yes, you're correct, Anubis has nothing to do with stopping a literal DDoS attack, but it does help smaller websites stay alive by avoiding responding to requests from scrapers or one-off malicious agents.
