Plex DOS / DDOS Protection

I work away from home a lot and I have 2 servers setup to run as media servers... One Ubuntu at home & 1 windows from my office (2 different WAN IPs)
I run Plex on both of these so that I can access my music, photos and videos etc whilst I am away from home (staying in a hotel etc).
I have noticed that both are being hit by a fair few DOS & DDOS attacks & wondered what's the best way to protect against these. I use a lot of Cloudflare DDOS usually however Plex has to map by IP address and I don't believe it has any option to use hostnames.
I am assuming there is no way to forward traffic from 1 IP onto a hostname
1st IP address >> Hostname >> cloudflare DNS server >> 2ndIP address (wan IP)
I have access to a large AWS account so if there is any way to set this up using AWS network cards then that's an option for me...
Thanks
