Nothing. You probably though I said "VPN over a VPS", which would just be the same as a VPN, which isn't composing the solutions.

You're suggesting to use a VPS in a thread that's specifically about self-hosting on a home network, and about there being cons to that compared to hosting on a cloud/VPS platform.

So you're sort of driving parallel to the existing commentary.

The parent comment to mine did that.

If you trust someone in your neighborhood/family, you can ask them to power cycle your host and water your plants
