I even added a networkwide adblocker so that the ads could be blocked not only on websites (brave can do that way better) but even on applications and software that come with ads and by connecting to the VPN I can do adblocking anywhere in the world.

I set it up with OpenVPN so that I can access my network from anywhere in the world. I also set static IPs for each device along with local DNS so that I can access them using domains like laptop.example.locale rather than remembering each IP address.
