Noob question - is it really safe from ISP admin?

Hi,
Great piece of software, congratulations!
I am pretty new to VPN, so far I was using some paid vpns, but since I am not using it for anonymity but for security, so I decided to use my home computer as gate.
Basically what I need, is to be protected from sniffing/logs of any isp I use. I work in many different places and use different hotspots all the time. Like coffee places, airports or clients office WiFi I often use. Therefore I need to be sure I am protected, that no one (except my home ISP I trust) can sniff, log or see what I am doing.
Since it was far to easy to set up - I am not sure if I am protected that way :) In FAQ there is a focus on using prohibited websites from censored internet - but no mention about the security of it.
I checked DNS leaks and set up some public DNS just in case. I use built-in Softehter VPN (not ipsec/ppt/openvpn etc.).
I am 99% sure it is, as this is how VPN works, but I guess I need comment from you ;)
Regards,
WL
