Personally I would say that it'll be more convenient to buy a certificate
rather than issuing one of your own, coz you do not have to distribute the
certificate to the end users.
Increased Security - well the end users would now be contacting 2 locations
i.e. the VPN Server to establish the VPN and the CA to verify the
Certificate. This may not necessarily mean increased Security unless I'm
missing something.
