VPN tunnels the data from your pc at home to some other server in an encrypted manner. So you would need some VM or hardware in a data center to do so. Instead of your ISP knowing what you're doing it would be your data center knowing what you're doing.
The advantage of a VPN is they have thousands of such machines all over the world.
Maybe check out the VPNs offered by Rob Braxman?
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.
