The author suggests the following use cases: Mask your IP address, Hide from snooping ISPs, Extra security on public Wi-Fi, Unblock geo-restricted content, Connect to your home network from anywhere
Snooping ISPs, public IP, and geoblocking are not prevented by a VPN server in your home network, which the author does not warn about.
The other two cases work if you make your VPN server accessible from the internet, which the author also does not expand upon or even mentions.
It's a good tutorial but the question about VPN servers is often now how, but where. And this question is not asked.
