Having VPN server on your own home network doesn't achieve anything. Like, nothing at all.

Not necessarily, depends on the use case.

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
