I'm sorry but, the chances of you finding ("expecting") a free VPS, AND DDoS protection are extremely slim. VPS's are fairly competitively priced nowadays, and you can protect your services using CloudFlare.
I hope this helps.

It's blocked all but one UDP flood on my site, so it's fair to say it does a pretty good job - and for free / cheap, it's worth a mention.

CloudFlare is aweful for the users if you ask me.
Nothing worse than getting one of those popup things.
Honestly its nearly enough to make me leave sites.
If i was to go to a new site and that come up then i would just leave never to return.
As for free VPS
If you find one let me know

What are you talking about?
Popups?
CloudFlare is a CDN (Content Distribution Network) and offers DNS/Stats Service's, and I know for a fact that SupportForums uses it.
I think we're talking about two different things here ( https://www.cloudflare.com/overview )

He means the site protection page which requires you to enter captcha.. and yeah, it is awful.

The captcha system is to block unwanted visitors and threats. If you see the captcha box on a website, it's because you've been flagged as an 'unsafe' visitor, which ultimately would be your fault, not the CloudFlare system.
And if it was really an awful system, why are so many websites (including SupportForums) using it?

Ok first of all show me how many vB sites are using it?
MyBB has a spam issue thats why people are using it.
As for the visitors fault.. Well search around here a bit. I have posted threads regarding this.
I have been sending pms or replies and get those stupid popup screens wanting me to jump through hoops to post or pm.
I have been here a long time and would expect i would not be flagged so its not the users fault.
Its the softwares fault.

I'm sure there are a bunch of VBforums that are using CloudFlare, it's not purely an 'anti-spam' protection layer, it's a CDN with a few helpful features bolted on. Just because MyBB may or may not have more of a problem with spam than other forums, doesn't mean only MyBB sites are using it.
And i'm sorry to say, but the Captcha system works on a flag system. The majority of the sites I surf daily use CloudFlare and i've never seen the Captcha screen once.
EDIT:
I've created a CloudFlare thread, incase anyone would like to voice their opinions on there instead.
