Initial protection that you may be done is changing your password into a complex password with a combination of number symbol and upper lower case letters and disabled the root login and make a user account with sudo commands.

@Vuluts hmm nice suggestion but mostly DDoS attack because game server maybe i've seen or maybe i'm wrong.

you can also protect from internal.

AFAIK you can only protect your VPS from DDoS is getting a DDoS protection from 3rd parties or if your host offer for your vps.

Ofcourse providers will allow that for sure and one thing game server wont get attacked by DDoS if it's still new.

and also you can use public key authentication instead of the password . it will get less bruteforce because public key is much harder to bruteforce than password here is the link
