home/vps hosted VPNs are only really helpful to mitigate malicious ISP (or hotspot operator). If need a VPN for identity hiding purposes (eg. torrenting, evading IP tracking), you still need a commercial VPN provider.

Those are only good for VPN netflix or being more secure at coffee shops.

  >VPN netflix The last self-rolled VPN couldn't get past netflix or prime. Despite checking for DNS leaks etc. Either IP range was blocked or some sort of TTL mechanism
