Making your own VPN server at your home so you can access your local area network anywhere in the world is absolutely amazing. No certs to access your jellyfin. Amongst other benefits. Wireguard on a raspberry pi 5 works super fast.

Interested in learning more about this:

Mainly why would someone want to access their local network abroad? #newb

Lots of reasons. To access files on your local computer. Or web applications without opening additional ports. (Increases attack surface)

Protect against man in the middle attacks.

To hide your location from a employer, for example maybe you want to work in Mexico one week.

Share your Netflix account without paying extra. (Looks like it's coming from your house)

Ahh very informative thank you!
