Thank you, I have been wanting to understand how to do this myself (a bit of complex networking but I hope I can manage) instead of relying on Cloudflare (how do you replicate the protection offered by Cloudflare though?) - would you be able to point me towards any guides regarding your setup?
Thanks!
I didn't have a guide available, so I created one just now here.
From the Protection side you are right. My setup does not have DDoS protection or the WAF offered by Cloudflare, but as I didn't need that (yet) I'm fine with it. Would be something to look into, should I even get enough traffic on my pages that machine could not handle it.
