One thing you should keep in mind when doing this is all traffic will be routed through the gateway, so if you say had a home desktop connected with a VPS running as the OpenVPN server, connections routed to the home desktop will go through the VPS first. This can be a significant bandwidth/latency addition, depending on your needs. Obviously much less significant if everything will be physically colocated.

OpenVPN can be set to route only certain IP blocks to the tunnel. I sometimes do prefer to route everything over the vpn though, especially at coffee shops that filter specific ports.
