openVPN good for this use?

Hi.

I am wondering if openVPN good for this kind of use.

I have a NAS with all my family photos, family videos and some torrented movies(not gna lie), but primarily im using it to share photos etc.

I've hosted openVPN on my NAS, downloaded the certificate etc. and just copied it to their computer. I have also mapped up the network drives, to make it easy for my parents to use. So all they have to do is launch the openvpn sw, type in username/password and they're good to go.

Is openVPN secure enough for this kind of use? I ofc dont even want my ISP to be able to see the traffic thats going from my router. I've read that openVPN doesnt even expose the pattern or fingerprints of what type of traffic is coming off my router either. 

If openVPN isnt the best one for this, what else can I use?

Thanks in advance!

OpenVPN is just fine :\ any VPN software would do the same job.

Oh, thanks. I'm just a bit nervous that my ISP could somehow monitor the traffic somehow, without putting too much effort into it.

You pretty much described the main use of OpenVPN in a business environment, so I think you're pretty safe.  Just check you are using the optimal encryption settings, increase the key depth if you are paranoid, but its literally what OpenVPN is designed for.

 

Its not like you are doing anything your ISP should be concerned about anyway.
