Hey, I had a question about passing all your traffic through a home VPN: What does your internet plan look like? Asking because in some places ISPs are such that the download speed (which is what is on all their marketing material) is good, but upload speed is really shitty. Downloading a 500 MB file takes far less time than uploading it.

This is one of the reasons I host OpenVPN from home.
My mobile devices are always connected to my home VPN, so my traffic cannot be monitored or modified. Also keeps me behind pihole for adblocking and private dns records (self-hosted services).
Some corporate filewalls will block most outbound ports as well. TCP on port 22 usually makes it through.

VPN’s can further limit your bandwidth. Encryption and decryption require a lot of processing overhead. Something to be mindful of if you’re self hosting a VPN. I think my Mikrotik (dual core ARM) maxes out around 250 Mbps.

And on the off-chance that port 22 is blocked, you could always spin up sshd on a different port. Hell, if you’re not hosting www content, you could have sshd listen on ports 80 or 443, and no sane employers blocks those ports outright.
