As discussed above I don't use it for most browsing, but for anything that likes me to be at home I can fire it up.
A very good choice if you know what you are doing and are using something along the lines of OpenSSL or better IPSEC with AES. If you are doing it I would highly recommend installing
dd-wrt on the home router as many stock router OSes can be compromised quite easily.
For
ADSL users this can have quite a big performance hit, due to the Asynchronous bandwidth of ADSL. On cable, SDSL or fibre it works a charm.
