Original: Show HN: I created a BGP-based blackhole system that you can set up in minutes

The tool, shared on Hacker News, is drawing attention from engineers interested in simpler DDoS mitigation options. Commenters are likely weighing its practicality against established providers and the risks of advertising blackhole routes.
