OpenVPN server on Linux. Server and client on the same PC, with the PC connected as a client to its own server. Really?

Question

linux

Actually a question.
Is it possible to connect as a client to your own OpenVPN server, and all this on the same machine.
And if possible, will the traffic be encrypted when accessing the Internet.
With a remote server, it is clear that everything will be fine. Is it possible to crank out such a chip on one PC?
Thank you for attention! Don't drink too hard))

Answer 1

"Check" is real.
Traffic will be encrypted, but only on the "path" from itself to itself. To the provider and then it will go as it would go without such a tunnel.
To be honest, the answer to this question is not just "simple", but "obvious" and somehow even strange to see such a question here. // moreover, it's even strange to me that so far there has not been a single sarcastic comment. I even had a hard time keeping up.
