No it makes no sense, except it sounds like you want your address to
look like it is your mom's address rather than your own. While there
might be a legitimate reason for that, which you should tell us.
Otherwise, it sounds more like you are
trying to take advantage of your mom, and make sure that if something
blowback occurs because of your own activity on the net, it is your mom,
not you that gets into trouble. 

Anyway, I do not know of routers that will of themselves allow VPN from
outside to the router. Ie, you may need to have your mother keep her
computer on.
