As an example: some people might be using the offerings from Microsoft or Amazon, whilst other people might be running a VM with a VPS somewhere and hosting their apps like Homeassistant, OpenHAB, Node-Red etc there.

I wanted to know if you do something like this, and what might be the downsides to doing something like this.

Thanks!

    It just might. That’s what I meant by firewall btw. A router is usually just three things, a firewall, a network switch, and a wireless access point. The part that handles routing to the internet (and your cloud instance) will be the firewall. I have OPNSense as my firewall with Tailscale installed on it.
