If your intention is to bypass the hotspot limit, then, afaik, you can't with your above method. The VPN hides your web-traffic from the ISP(eg for you to be able to visit MCMC-banned porno-sites like pornhub) but the ISP still auto-knows you are hotspotting from a laptop.

The masking of hotspot data use to bypass the hotspot limit must be done at the phone side, not at the computer/laptop side. Need to be a tech-geek to do this, ie to beat UMobile's filtering/QoS software and Deep Packet Inspection team.

In that case, afaik, it will depend on your VPN service. Only the more expensive ones give you unlimited speed and data. Those free ones limit your speed and data, eg can only use 500MB of data per day.

thinking on expressVPN..
i dont mind the blazing speed or mediocre speed bcoz on 4G+ connection, just that quality of line.
barely getting good connections for online games on lappy. erratic pings.. packet loss..
hence im asking here.. any difference if lappy on VPN? or logon VPN on phone side..

VPN will only make your online gaming worse because you are adding another server to your Internet connection.

Online gaming requires a latency or ping or input lag of < 50 milliseconds. Otherwise, it is practically unplayable due to the lag. < 50 ms = the distance between the player and game server must be < 1,000 miles. In your case, ie with your location in Malaysia, the game server should be located nearby like in KL, Singapore, Jakarta, etc, and not in China, HK, Japan, SKorea, Europe, USA, etc.

For online gaming in 4k/2160p video resolution, you need > 32Mbps, similar to the requirement in Google Stadia = better to use 1080p = only need 8Mbps.
....... The smallish 6" screens of h'phones do not really need > 480p, except for use with VR/AR headsets.

i have my friend on getting on vpn n getting so much better latency on US server bcoz no SEA server.. thats why im thinkin on VPN.. but he is in UNIFI line..

for me, im looking for stable quality connection gaming over my mobile hotspots.. since we all are indoors hogging on lines, it bound to take a toll on the quality i assume.

Call of Duty also has a server in Singapore. Maybe got network congestion at UMobile and the game server. Better to subscribe to Fiber Internet for online gaming(= lower latency and little network congestion) or wait for mobile 5G. .......
https://twitter.com/netduma/status/1172558559453896705?s=21

P S - UMobile mostly runs on LTE Band 7 = 2600MHz, which is easily blocked by walls and heavy rain. Make sure your mobile device is facing the open air.

i think that the problem... congestion at umobile...
seldom at home, fiber line is underutilised..
my mobile is get a good reception signal 60%. 3 bar from 4 bar signal. my lappy getting full bar wifi signal on its hotspots.

not sure if cod warzone have SG server.. the game launcher scans & selects America server for malaysian player even tho there is a Asia server to choose. but both have high packet loss.. laggy.. rubber banding.. non playable..

other game like pubg & coh2 also suffer alil bit the same fate but playable..

FPS games are best play or PC platform.. HAHAHAHAHA..

At this ping test website, https://gameserverping.com/cod-modern-warfare , my UMobile GX50 is getting about 200ms for COD: Modern Warfare from the nearest available server in Australia.
....... Even with PUBG's server in Singapore, I am getting about 100ms.

So, UMobile 4G is not capable of online gaming likely because UMobile has slow DNS servers. Maybe you should try Google's DNS servers. ( https://blog.archit.in/2012/02/google-publi...locations-list/ ) ( https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic...nce/rHaVZMtgyrU ), ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Public_DNS ), which are available for KL locations.
....... Likely, Maxis 4G and Digi 4G should be better.

Other ping test websites are likely not as accurate.

CODMW aus i got 130-150ms.. PUBG sea i got 40-50ms on my lappy on p139 hotspot..
