Is this really as safe as existing/leading VPN’s?
Literally depends on why you want a vpn. These endpoint on your own network so your isp still sees all of your data and your dns provider stills see all of your dns requests. You can set it up on a vps but you’ll end up with a dedicated ip that belongs to you so it’s not much different beyond your isp not seeing anything.
A regular vpn acts as a fence to this whole thing a fence not owned by you with a gate that is used by many others. You can see things going in one end of the gate but cannot see into the yard. Then you can see things come out the other end of the gate but don’t know where they came from due to the fog of war in between
So hosting an at home vpn is pointless (or if you have a reason to do it, you would know). A vps vpn will cost as much as a regular one and will still not provide quite the same service as a regular one.
Depends what you want/need/expect in a vpn.
This makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.
Interesting. Thanks for another view on it.
