I mean, tbf, you do not need live ammo to make a film... The other examples do need -want for the private case- so I do not think is comparable.

Is running a docker container a lot of overhead?

Ernestly asking, since my opinion is skewed cause im use to running containers.

You can also host your own, check out radicale! Is quite simple.

Not if going first through a MIMO ofuscator. Which is what the VPN is.

Or could you explain how would you be able to tell which connection goes to which client?

It is about the ability to trace back, not to be traced.

Ws1------|----++++++++---| Ws2------| | ----Client 1 Ws3------|. VPN |----Client 2 Ws4------| |----Client 3 ... | | ... Wsn------| |----Client m

Since there are multimple outside conections (wb1..n), the traffic to the VPN clnent is encripted and each client can have multiople connections (thats why i used Client m and not Client n) you can not in a reliable fashion tell which connection will be sent to which client.

Now your case:

Ws1------|----++++++++---| Ws2------| | ----Client 1 Ws3------|. VPS. | Ws4------| | ... | | Wsn------| |

You can in that case reliable say that all the traffic is being piped to Client 1, because ks the only client.

From there a motivated party can trace back you traffic to you ISP, if you got a fixed IP you can be trace back to.

If you are behind a CGNAT that party will need help from your ISP, to see where the fraffic went. Which tbf I neglected to mention before, but still changes the trust from you VPS to you ISP.

To be REALLY fair this tho no wholly easy is also not incredibly hard given you have the right hardware in the right place, I just wanted to explain why mixing your traffic with others has an advantage over a single person VPN

You are missing the point, in this case the vector would not be someone requesting data but someone surveiling the VPS or VPN server's traffic and drawing conclutions out of it

I'd argue that deanonimation would be easier.

In a VPN you have hundreds of clients and also hundreds of outbound connections, tho not impossible is way harder to find out which connection is being piped to which client. On you own hosted VPS, if you have a dedicated ip is easier, all the traffic will be redirected to only one address, then one of your client.

Even with a vps with a shared ip the number of clients mantaning open connections is probably way lower on average.

There are always older peeps in rave, festivals, concerts, discos... no one cares, and to be fair, I don't think most people in communitiy would take kindly to ageisim. Enjoy!

Mostly the features. But if you only need/want a basic system, I agree the local file is better.

Frirefly iii. You will have to self hosted tho. It has a web interface. But Im not sure about mobile

Lots of good answers here, I just want to add a book recomendation: Atomic habits. It is a practical way of training your "willpower"

Yooo. You are onto something here.
