I have a server hosted on Google Cloud, specifically a FiveM GTA 5 mod running on port 30102 UDP. I'm looking for ways to mask its IP address so new players see a different one, and also want protection against DDoS attacks. I've tried load balancing in Google Cloud, which helped with the website but not the game server—when I opened the site with another IP, the game couldn't connect via that IP on the load balancer. My goal is to either hide my IP or secure it from attacks. The server runs on a Windows 22 machine.

I wouldn't be concerned too much about DDoS here. Google Cloud and other major providers handle high traffic well and you can switch IP addresses if necessary. You could also try Cloudflare or similar services, though they require payment.

Cloudflare seems ideal for HTTP or web services. Yes, I have 1Gbps bandwidth on Google Cloud, but it’s still better to switch the load balancer IP rather than the main server IP. For some reason, the load balancer isn’t working.
