One use I make of the VPN is to give my phone IPv6 Internet access. It
does IPv6 natively but my phone network won't support it.
I have set up my OpenVPN installation and certificates to give IPv6
addresses to my phone. My ISP has been nice enough to give me a /56 IPv6
range.
Having IPv6 is not essential, but it is certainly useful in giving my
phone a unique IPv6 address or a range, say /64. In your bank case, your
phone network is very unlikely to give you a unique persistent IPv4
address, but with the VPN you can certainly lock in your IPv6 address(es)
