Can you DDoS public IP?
If your ‘Public’ IP has been exposed, AND you have a service open to the public network, then you could receive a DDOS. But you must have both. And as the ‘Public’ IP is actually your Gateway Router, or Proxy, then any DDoS defence should be applied to that device rather than your own system.
Can you connect to your own public IP?
To connect to the server from within your own network you need to use the private IP address (and private port) of that server. From outside the network though (i.e. across the Internet) you can use your public IP address (and public port) to access it.
How do I know if I am getting DDoSed?
Generally, the best way to examine a potential DDoS attack is through analytic tools. Check to see if a specific traffic source continues to query a certain set of data long after the Time To Live (TTL) for the site has elapsed.
Can my router get DDoSed?
Yes, routers can, unfortunately, be both a target for a DDoS attack and can also be used to launch an attack, sometimes even simultaneously.
How do I protect my public IP address?
There are two main ways to hide your IP address: by using a virtual private network (VPN), or a proxy server. VPNs are the most common tools used by consumers to mask their IP addresses.

What’s the difference between limited broadcast and directed broadcast?
There is a differentiation between limited broadcast and directed broadcast: With limited broadcast, an IP address is given as a destination. This IP address is always 255.255.255.255. Technically, this broadcast should be sent to all the IP addresses that exist. However, it actually serves as an address for the broadcast within the network.
