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.

Yes I understand that. I was talking about a diy home server.

In what sense is that still a VPN if your data isn't leaving your home encrypted? I don't see what you'd be accomplishing.

That was the question. Would there be a point to having a vpn server on your home network other than to access the network from outside.
