The VPN gateway (as well as other stateful devices such as firewalls and load balancers) are critical pieces of technology that enable work/learn from home scenarios. Relying exclusively upon a cloud-based DDoS protection service to protect the availability of a VPN gateway is risky, as these services will find it difficult to detect and stop such attacks before the damage is done.
