You're gonna need to give more information than that. What are you wanting to host? What are you requirements?

 

Personally I'm using kvm/qemu to host windows desktops and docker containers to host all my projects.

I would like to just have a vpn go threw my phone and my computer. for security. when I'm on other people's internet and even my inernet.

Lol, my bad, I read VM instead of VPN...

 

I'm using openvpn. Pretty straight forward to set up.

That depends on your connections.

 

keep in mind that any of the following can slow you down:

 

from you to isp.

from isp to home.

from home back to isp.

 

Notice that isp <-> home is used twice, so however much bandwidth you want to use your home network has to handle double that.

 

For most normal stuff it should be fine and not even noticeable as long as your home network is a decent speed.

Openvpn

[cloneman]

Openvpn is somewhat annoying to install, but fortunately some nice people made some scripts that are very helpful.

 

This guy made one https://github.com/Nyr/openvpn-install

---> Looks like some else improved on it: https://github.com/Angristan/OpenVPN-install

 

Definitely what I'd use to get setup quickly!
