This is a great initiative. Can you tell me how it differs from what Cloudflare does? I know Cloudflare acts as a defense filter, but this seems like a defense attacker 
Why don't you set up a service where you provide a protection service to websites instead of trying to sell the software? Because the latter might involve setup and maintenance which most website owners these days might be incapable of executing on their own.
I am planning to self-host a site of my own which is currently hosted on Wix so it gets all the Cloudflare protection and DDoS protection, so for a guy like me, what advantages would this software present as opposed to just buying a Cloudflare or AWS Shield subscription?

The advantages for using this software. That is no bypass for this. There are several pages which can be modified changed to make it look like your own personal network. If you're hosting provider, you could offer this as a service yes.
