What kind of protection system could be used against railguns?

What kind of system using modern technology would be able to counter a railgun projectile on a vehicle (both land and sea)? Would a think slab of angled armour in the shape of "<" work to cover the entire thing that needs to be protected or would an all-or-nothing design work better? On the other hand, would making something with no armour and a very thin structural shell project better as it allows the railgun projectile to overpenetrate?

The railgun in question would be this railgun tested by the US Navy. The projectile would just be the solid sabot fired by that gun.
