e2ee would be important if youre uploading files when away from your local network
Even without e2ee or a VPN, just plain old HTTPS should be enough to secure that part, or am I missing something?
Comment on Promised myself I will support them after they go stable. They kept their promise and so did I

True, but if you control both endpoints, e2ee and https look very similar.

Immich automatically uploads when I connect to wifi so that’s not really a problem. Nor am I personally concerned with someone MITMing my personal photos, I just want them out of corporate silos that use them to exploit me or hand them over to the gov in a dragnet.

If this is happening via a VPN you almost definitely already have transit encryption

Fair point, and if ypure worried about privacy while transferring images, a VPN should have already been considered.
