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?

Rent a vps somewhere where dmca is ignored (there are a lot but not ask me to make name, just search on google and you’ll find them) then connect it to your server through vpn (OpenVPN or WireGuard). Setup on new vps a reverse proxy (haproxy or NGiNX). In this way your main server will not be affected and dmca will be ignored.
