I am interested in running my own node, but does the software offer DDoS protection in any way? Should I do this at the network layer? What best practices are common here?

No there is no build in DDoS protection.
In my opinion, you have two options:
- External Software like https://github.com/jgmdev/ddos-deflate
- You could whitelist your neighbours with iptables.

Ok, thank you. I hope that one day the node software becomes a "one click" thing where it just works and does everything for you without having to worry about DDoS, finding neighbours, etc.– MuppetDec 1, 2017 at 21:29

I'm pretty sure as IOTA grows and more devs become interested, there will be lots of community driven projects like that.– SuneDec 4, 2017 at 3:05
