One from my isp. Either way, will I need a static ip address from my isp?

Subscribing to a VPN would defeat the purpose of me building my own.

So far I've gathered from y'all, that I need a Linux OS and OpenVPN. Am I correct?

I plan to use it for when I'm on public wi-fi in general for a variety of different things, i.e. banking, connecting to game servers

I'm looking to create my own Proxy Server or VPN Server. I did a little research and determined the main difference is that a VPN offers encyption whereas a proxy server does not. One of my friends was talking about using a raspberry pi to make his proxy server. Would I be able to use a pi for a VPN Server? If so, what are some recommendations. I've never used a pi before, but I am familiar with Arduino.
