content: The catch I see is that it's useless for most people. Having your own VPN sitting next to your computer through which you connect doesn't provide security or anonymity -- you're still using your own ISP (Comcast or whatever).  This would allow you to connect remotely from elsewhere in the world to your own home to use your ISP, which could be useful in certain cases, but it's not something everybody needs. You can also use it to serve websites from your home or host a small chat server. The idea is to make setting up a home server easy and cheap. However, I don't really see the point here. Most people who would actually need a home server probably have an old laptop they can use (and all the software is free).
