I am trying to capture costs for starting into homelab/selfhosting.
VPNs, search engines, absolutely everything and anything.

I am very concerned about selfhosting and exposing my network to the internet. I thought people had VPS etc.
Do you mean a VPN? Tailscale has a free tier, or you can run a headscale instance on whatever hardware you like.
Selfhosting on a VPS can have its use cases (piracy). If you are worried about exposing it to the internet just don’t and ise company profiles on your devices to automatically connect your network using VPN
A VPS is a Virtual Private Server, such as one would rent from a provider like digitalocean.com com or similar. Most of the crew here run their homelab off of equipment located in their residence. If a VPS is the path you’d like to take, then that would be a subscription. If you have equipment in your physical possession, that is yet another path. Either way, security is of utmost importance.
