addon-vscode VS addon-wireguard

First, some add-ons only run with the 64 bit version, such as VSCode: https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-vscode

I am fairly new to Wireguard and set it up using the add-on from Home Assistant. Git Link

There are three major cloud components. Alexa and Google integrations both have open options that are documented by NC and you are welcome to use them. There’s a lot of setup as you need to deal with a semi-complex config on AWS or GCP which can be challenging if you’re new to those environments, but they work as well as the paid NC option.

The remote access proxy service doesn’t really have an open equivalent but there are tons of other supported solutions out there for secure remote access to your Home Assistant install. One example add-on, developed and supported by an NC employee: https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-wireguard

In short, the paid cloud services provide an easier path to solutions you can deploy for yourself if you wish. Those services cost NC money to host, so asking for money isn’t too far out there. Of course, that money is more than what the cloud parts cost, and what we all get in return is a team of skilled developers working on the project and releasing everything for free.

I'm running two Raspberry Pi 3 B+ on my network. One is running PiHole (w/ DHCP Server), and the other is running Home Assistant OS with WireGuard (https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-wireguard).
