after i search how to protect my website host server using GRE tunnels, some friends of this forum give me a tip to use Reverse Proxy that would be better.
But i don't found any guide on how to Reverse Proxy, many guides teach only install Nginxs but nothing much directed to that i need.
I have in my mind, the following working scheme:
Attacks + Users –> My Cloud with DoS / DDoS Mitigation + Reverse Proxy –> My Dedicated Server with WHM/cPanel.
All traffic must pass through the reverse proxy that exists in the cloud.
It is possible?
Regards.

As for what tools to use, the one that I'm familiar with are:
Both TCP and HTTP(s) Proxies:

Hope this helps.
