A nas is just a crippled home server. Just run a home server and it can act as your nas, too, and not be crippled. You don’t need a rack mount solution just build a pc in your price range (I built an i3 server this year for around $200 that will blow any NAS out of the fucking water) and install the appropriate OS/Software. All it does is run plex now, but I’m thinking of stealing some of your privacy focused ideas maybe I’ll setup next cloud, too :)
Tried session? Anyone have comments on it? Nice to be able to skip the phone and easily use vpn, though I haven’t spent enough time on that.
