     @dookie @gray Sounds fine for just networking. You might find something as cheap as $1/no, but I'd prefer to stick to reputable hosters, plus having extra horsepower might allow one to cache stuff on the VPS and save some trips to home server, speeding things up.

     @gray @dookie Almost nothing. The implementation is dead simple and runs on kernel level, so there's no CPU cycles wasted on context switching.

     @dookie @mint you could do it with wireguard I think. Not sure what that needs for resources.

     @dookie sounds kind of like something the admin on here might be more familiar with.
     
     @mint do you think a 1GB ram VPS would be enough for soapbox, nextcloud, a proxy, and some other stuff?

     @dookie I’m not too sure. If you can afford it more ram would always be best but I don’t know about how much would be best for what you want to run.
     
     The $3.50 vps only has 1 GB right?

     @mint @dookie @gray Hmm...I like the idea of Wireguard between home and a VPS, and using the VPS for caching media. Need to look more into the security aspects and how to best cordon the homeserver from the rest of the home network in case of a breach.
