I have 2 servers, vps and storage, with LDAP authentication set up.
They are on different VPS providers.

I want to mount the /home folder on storage onto vps as the /home
folder, such that when a user sign in on vps, the home folder is on
storage.

Which protocol should I use?

VPN tunnel of your choice and then mount with basic NFS.

Will NFS maintain the proper permissions?

It will do what you configure it to do...
