Things like this that go through some external VPS always seem a bit pointless to me.

just host it on the VPS directly

I have workloads that need 32T of enterprise nvme that I run on a machine in my garage.

How much for a VPS that supports bandwidth to access those 32T data frequently?

Sometimes you don't have to access those 32TB data in raw. You often need only the processed data, which can be magnitudes smaller.

Your local machine holds and processes the raw data, while your VPS forwards the much smaller processed data to the Internet.

A VPS that relays traffic and a VPS that runs services are very different.
