@TroyMitchell911 Google cloud shell will keep files in home folder for a long while(maybe over 6 months, if you using it everyday, it will be forever), so after you restart it, you can continue use all apps in home folder. If you have a $4.10/month budget, you can use the hetzner vps 4GB RAM + 20GB SSD, i think it has best cost-effectiveness.

Of course, I know it will keep files in the home folder. But the session will close in an hour if there's no activity. So the biggest question is, do I have to go to the shell every hour to restart Tailscale? Or if Tailscale has traffic going through it, will the shell stay open, meaning I only need to start it before using it each day?
