I use vpn to home office together with ssh and sshfs to access data and remote vnc safely.
Combination of VPN and ssh/sshfs is for redundancy because of various access restrictions on public and customer networks. When unlucky - both VPN and ssh traffic blocked - I fall back to nextCloud over https. Public and customer networks are often heavily restricted and circumventing DNS and https - so VPN or at least ssh is life saver.
