NOTE: you cannot really connect to your network and test your VPN from *inside* your network

Also, the network from which you connect to your network cannot be identical because the VPN cannot route packets in that situation. E.g. if your network at home is 192.168.1.* and the network from which you are connecting is also configured at 192.168.1.*, it will not work.
