    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.

        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.
