Storage size, privacy, security, operating cost…I can think of several reasons. I use a cheap vps to help me route traffic to my ebook server, and I don’t have to pay for extra storage on the vps to hold all my comic books, which can be quite large when scanned in HD.
Using ProxMox has been extremely useful for me. It has allowed me to experiment with a lot more things than I ever did before—it is very easy to spin up a new VM to test things out.
I would recommend it to anyone running a home server.

I was the original appreciator! Gluetun is life! Gluetun is truth! Gluetun is the way!
I’m so glad this post helped somebody!
Indeed! There are many simple and quality ways to set it up, and users can pick anything they prefer. FOSS is dope like that.
I think the questions are more prominent because a wider audience of people are becoming more privacy conscious.
In my case, I haven’t had the advantage of going to school for any of this, so I have to pick up knowledge where I can. If there is a reliable tool available to accomplish my task, I’m more likely to use it than to pursue a more manual solution because even simple computing questions can be rabbit holes that result in hours of reading and learning.
The reason that I made this post is because your options are always limited by your awareness of available solutions, and I presumed there might be someone else out there who has struggled getting a VPN reliably bound to a service.
Arch, btw.

They’ve gone up a little, but they’re starting at $11 per year.
Are you using Nginx to make your app available on the web? If you are on a home internet connection, how confident are you that your ISP has given you a static IP?
Running Nginx and Tailscale to route traffic through a VPS with a static IP has been way more reliable for me than any attempt at static IP hosting from a home connection in the past. At $5-$15 per year, a VPS is cheaper than the hassle of troubleshooting with an ISP at home.
Maybe I’m just dense, but how is that done? I don’t see anything in tautulli settings, and I don’t see any plugin scripts for it.
I also run Debian, btw.
I literally never have that problem with Debian. I’ve had it with Ubuntu though…
I have really enjoyed Kavita. There are a few things that are still a little rough around the edges, but it is a project with a lot of potential.
We aren’t Mormon, but I’m sure we could work something out.
I’m bi and we’re freaky. How you doin’?
This…is not how it goes with my wife.

Not when used with Tailscale. You can put Tailscale on the VPS and on your home server, put Nginx on the VPS and point it to the Tailscale address for the desired service with your desired subdomain.
Voila, Nginx is serving your content through the Tailscale tunnel without edits to your home network. If Tailscale works, then this will work.
