DMCA and redundancy (alien.top)

Hello,

I'm currently dealing with someone who is targeting me with fake/false DMCA notices in an attempt to cause harm to my business. I'm going to deal with the legal side of that and that's not what this post is for, my main question is this:

If I had a "frontend" VPS server with NGINX on it, and then that server forwards to another separate VPS server - would this mitigate loss where only the NGINX VPS server gets locked down from a DMCA? Or would it somehow get my underlying server shut down still?

Presumably they wouldn't necessarily know the 2nd server even exists if they're just hitting the reverse proxy. As long as both the reverse proxy and the origin server aren't under the same VPS provider I would expect that to be fine.

Reverse proxy gets targeted, shut down, you spin up a new one somewhere else and keep going.

Yeah that sounds right to me, okay sounds good. I also found some offshore VPS servers who ignore DMCA unless it becomes court ordered legal matter, so that'll stop a lot of this crap too

Thank you so much
