what is the opinion over the following VPN set up.
local KVM Linux VPS in KL area, with unmetered 1Gbps bandwidth
the idea is to have local VPN endpoint rather than overseas, since
target usage is heavily towards accessing local conferencing server, which currently is very slow even with 2Gbps link. Or 1Gbps link, if you consider it's the bloody white ONR.
i was thinking it would be better to set up VPN in local datacentre endpoint and then leave the international or local routing to the datacentre's own route management.
is there gotchas or flaws to this thinking?

Up until middle of this month I was using a commercial VPN provider that had a MY node in KL/Cyberjaya provided by Gigabit Hosting Sdn Bhd. My IP to the VPN server zero issues throughout the day, even maintaining <10ms ping during typical Unifi peak/koyak hours, but hosting server’s peering to EU is also badly affected right now.
Most datacenters won’t bend over for a single rented VPS rental customer, so it’s best you contact whatever local provider and ask beforehand if they have provisions to manage routing/peering upon customer request.
If your primary use case is local conferencing, maybe less of an issue if you find a decent local VPS. You only need to worry about your connection to the server. At worst, you might need to rotate your own IP range every few days (because TM), but should be minimal.
