Is there a point to hosting your own vpn? what does it actually do to help privacy? serious question, just wanting to know what it will actually do. i understand why people use a vpn host but i don’t exactly want to go from my iso knowing what i’m doing to a vpn host knowing what i’m doing. i would not use it to access my home network outside of range.

It does no good to host it from your home other than if your trying to secure incoming traffic from external sources. Like if you want to access some resources on your home network from an external site or location. If your trying to mask the content your looking at it has to be a server hosted offsite and even then its no grantee even if the server runs off a ram drive and keeps no logs because the can monitor their incoming traffic on the layer below you at the infrastructure level. VPN is only really good at preventing low hanging fruit from figuring out your identity. Antifa thugs and low level enforcers like that.

Ok thanks. That’s what I figured.
