Then, only the vpn provider would see the very same traffic, the ISP would see without vpn.
The ISP would just see your connection to the vpn provider.
The sites themselve would just see the vpn ip.
So it’s not the question about whether anyone sees the traffic, but who.
Only Tor would hide this traffic in a sense.
+1 that question, I’ve also never installed/used OpenCloud, simply because I didn’t see the benefit of it until now.
Based on the comments given so far, I have some hope that over time, the Go-approach could give us a more resource saving, but feature full alternative to tangle with, so I will stay tuned :)
For now I will stick to Nextcloud, because it gives me all the features I need and the maintanance, at least for the couple-hundred-user-instances I maintain, is not that bad, as I often read around the web :) But I also can understand, that people wish to have less maintenance struggles and therefor try sth else, wich is good for me, so I can hope for more experience reports in the near future :p
