Can someone help me feel like everything I am currently doing is...

Initially, I began by implementing Nextcloud for my family and friends, and later expanded to include services like...

I use ProtonVPN for everything, and I’ve started noticing more and more sites simply blocking me if I try to connect to them through ProtonVPN. As much as it sucks, I’ve more or less become acclimated to having to deal with an increased number of captchas while using a VPN; but I’m pretty angry about being blocked...
