I used to have my own VPN set up. Had a massive power surge and took out my RPi running PiVPN. When I have time, I plan on re-setting it up again.
My main reason for VPN is as I have been researching Crypto more and I had read that you needed a VPN to interact with the DeFi Network.
I might go back to FireFox depending. I’m also trying to dedicate Chrome exclusively for use with my job and having either FF, or in this case, Brave for everything else I do.
To be honest, I struggle to come up with the usecause in this scenario. You are on the same network as your server, the fact that you also create vpn with it doesn’t do anything. Maybe if you want to consolidate the traffic from different machines, I don’t know, but everything I can think of that might require that will not be fulled by the vpn
What I have mainly used it for is when I’m not in the same location as my network and I need something from it. Like a Cloud so to speak. To VPN in, grab it, and done.

Having VPN server on your own home network doesn’t achieve anything. Like, nothing at all.
Not necessarily, depends on the use case.

Well, yeah, of course, but that’s not “having vpn from the same network you are in”, it’s different stuff

It still makes the data of the local network your on more secure.
I.e. using your phone on public wifi at Starbucks, your data is encrypted and obfuscated so anybody on the public wifi can’t see your data.
Yeah your traffic still looks like it’s coming from your home network but it’s a free and secure way to protect yourself on other networks.
Plus like others have said it’s handy to have access to your home network at times.
