I personally use a range towards the end of the 172.16/12 reservation for my home network for exactly this reason. Ever since I made the change five years ago I’ve never suffered any conflicts when running a VPN in or out.

Virtually nobody realizes 172.17-172.31 are available.

And many are surprised to find that there are 172.* that are routable.
