Gatekeeper: The first open-source DDoS protection system. Has anyone tried mass hosting this as a group?

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

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.

The first? Wasn't LOIC open souce?

Imagine a federated system that allows everyone to host this and everyone can vote on a designated target

Ticketmaster is being a dick? Vote! Ticketmaster is now ddossed until it makes hard changes to its policies and brings prices down to like 10% of what it is today

Boeing continues to focus on money only, not safety? Ddos until it changes

The Cheeto is murdering innocent people again? The entire world will ddos everything US until he's removed.

I know this won't ever happen, but I see this as potentially useful in making the world a better place for everyone
