Unfortunately that's harder than just always leaving a Raspberry Pi on at home, especially given that I want to be able to sync files to my phone, where EncFS probably doesn't work at all (or easily).

I'm unfamiliar with syncthing, but could you run two daemons, one that does encrypted sync to e.g. dropbox, and one that does plain sync to your phone and such? Or would the two instances stomp on each other or get into an infinite loop? e.g.:

    plain <-> syncthing <-> phone
      ^
      |
      V
    encfs <-> syncthing <-> dropbox
That might be doable, but then I'd need an always-on trusted computer to do the decryption, and if I have that I don't need the VPS...
