Good to know, thanks!
I also asked ChatGPT because I was curious, and ChatGPT said since I am using a VPN, when my home server makes outbound requests, they will first go through the VPN tunnel and emerge from the VPS which means that to external systems (like the servers receiving my federation requests), the source IP will appear to be the public IP of my VPS, not my home IP.
Very cool stuff! It makes sense that VPNs can be used to mask home IPs even in this way, since VPNs are literally designed for security and privacy lol
