New To Paperless

Hello everyone,
I recently started digitising all my important documents, including passports, certificates, bills, medical letters and other paperwork that I may need while on the go.
I came across Paperless-ngx, installed it and uploaded all my documents. So far, I find it fascinating, but I feel I am only scratching the surface of what it can do.
I would love to hear about the most innovative or creative ways people are using Paperless-ngx. For example:
Which apps or services have you integrated with it?
Are you using AI for automatic tagging, better titles, correspondents or document types?
How have you improved OCR and search accuracy?
Do you use any automated workflows for importing documents from email, scanners or mobile phones?
Have you connected it to a local AI model such as Ollama?
What is the best way to access documents securely while away from home?
Are there any clever workflows, scripts or features that you now consider essential?
What backup and security arrangements do you use, particularly for sensitive documents such as passports?
I am especially interested in improving tagging accuracy and making documents quicker to find. I would really appreciate hearing about your setup and any useful tips, integrations or lessons you have learned.

Best CityFibre ISP for 2.5Gbps symmetrical? What should I look for besides price?

I was using EE home broadband and now I think I need more upload as I have multiple connections to my NAS. I was thinking to move to symmetrical speed. CityFibre is available at my new address in Harrogate (HG1 area), and I’m looking at getting a 2.5Gbps symmetrical connection.
There seem to be quite a few ISPs available, so I’m interested in recommendations based on the actual quality of the service rather than just price.

I already have a TP-Link Deco BE85 Wi-Fi 7 mesh system, so I don’t really need the ISP supplied router or Wi-Fi.

Things I’m particularly interested in:
• Quality of backhaul/peering and performance at peak times
• Whether they use CGNAT
• Static/public IPv4 availability and cost
• Native IPv6 support
• Whether I can connect my own router directly to the ONT
• DHCP/IPoE vs PPPoE and whether VLAN configuration is required
• Whether the ONT has 2.5GbE or 10GbE Ethernet
• Customer service and how quickly faults actually get resolved
• How easy it is to leave/switch if the service isn’t good
I also have a Synology NAS and use Tailscale/Cloudflare Tunnel/self-hosted services, so networking flexibility is more important to me than the ISP’s bundled router.
For those who have tried different CityFibre ISPs, which provider would you choose today for a 2.5Gbps connection, and which would you avoid?
I’m especially interested in hearing from anyone using CityFibre in Harrogate/North Yorkshire, as I assume routing/backhaul performance may differ by area.

Thanks for all the help. With EE I am struggling with double NAT issues
