[SOLVED] I'm looking for a VPN that has the option to have many port forwarding, has dedicated IP and has DDoS Protection that protects UDP.

Hi,
I'm in need of a VPN with a Dedicated IP, that lets me "open many " Ports Forwarding at the same time. I also need the VPN to have a DDoS Protection that protects UDP.
I need this to secure a server that hosts many games servers programs on it that mostly uses UDP and all use different ports. This is why I need a VPN that lets me open many port forwarding. This is also why I need a DDoS Protection that protects UDP.
I'm also open to suggestions on what can be done instead of a VPN that can protect a gaming server that is not hosted in a datacenter.

You can't get all that from a home connection. If you need data center reliability and protection you need a data center--not much of a way around that.

The port forwarding part you likely automatically get with most dedicated vpn services. The couple I have used would assign the IP directly to your router or whatever you were running the vpn on. This means all ports are forwarded to your equipment it is then your problem to figure out how to get the VPN function on your equipment to make this work. It tends to be a configuration issue on the vpn but you will have to read the documentation for the vpn software to get the details.

DDoS in its nature can not be stopped and especially UDP because you can forge the source IP address much easier. This is why you see huge game companies that get taken down by DDoS, if it was something simple these companies that can spend huge money would have done it.

Very simple DDoS protection is done with a firewall. For a home user it doesn't help because even though you might protect the end server the attack has eaten all your bandwidth before your firewall can do anything.

I suspect though you worry too much about DDoS. This is something kids think you can just write some program and run on your PC. They see too much TV where someone loads a program called DDOS and crashes stuff. DDoS requires a large network of compromised machines. It take time and effort to hack all these machines. The guys that do this stuff are in it for money. They do not care about DDOS themselves. They sell access to these networks and because the more these networks are used the more likely the machines get patched and they have to hack more machines. Now some idiot teen with his moms credit card might pay to use these but it does not take long to run out of money. Someone would have to hate you a lot to spend money to attack you.

May I ask which VPN you used?
