Sure, go right ahead but nothing you listed would require VPN.

I can see why you want protection. I don't see where a VPN connection to the popcorn is offered. How are you wanting a VPN? That's for secure connections across the internet and really have nothing to do with computers on a home LAN doing folder sharing. For instance, you might want to take a trip but connect home to a computer on the LAN, so have a VPN setup between them. How does this relate however to popcorn?

That is like asking how to jack a car and not get caught.

But on topic, there would be no changes to your network. Your VPN would be from the PC to somewhere else or someone else's VPN so again not a change to your network.
