Since it is not designed for individual selfhosters, I'm wondering if any groups are actively attempting to run it together? Idea sounds cool, but I'm wondering about practical execution.

Probably, that is simple what it says on their github

You may want to change the title and include the word "protection"...

I was about to start my lucrative career in DDoS but, alas, I've been thwarted.

Doesn't really make sense for self hosting. Filtering the traffic is pointless if the traffic just completely overwhelms your internet.

Also generally self hosters aren't running bgp with their own asn.

Holy setup batman. Was thinking it was going to be another container I spin up, but it's enabling kernel modules, needs IOMMU, needs a ton of setup and then it looks like you still have to compile it? For now at least that's above my needs

Seems like this system relies on defending from well-defined entrypoints to the network. I'm not sure how a group of enthusiasts could use this unless they centralize their systems.
