I spent some time looking for cloud storage and ended up settling on MS One Drive family subscription.

It suits me but could get “interesting” for storage needs over 1TB.

The family subscription gives you access to 6 accounts with 1TB storage each. It was the most cost effective I came across and works with Rclone.

Assuming you can connect to the VPN from anywhere in the world - it’s an exposed service that could potentially be a target for prying eyes. If you’ve got systems in place to try detect unwanted attempts to connect then neat :)

I’ve just switched off my Wireguard VPN and trialing out Cloudflare Tunnels (free offering only) and find it great.

A really nice feature is that you can set up rules for “apps” - only connections originating from my country and with an approved e-mail address can proceed through the tunnel.

Everything I’ve set up is limited to HTTP/S traffic, and I’ve had to migrate my domain to CLoudflare… don’t see myself going back to VPN (anytime soon).
