VPN over hotspot

Not piracy, but I figured this is the best community to find people knowledgeable about this. I want to set up an open VPN server at my home and then go on a trip to another country for a week. If I connect my phone to my home VPN and connect my work laptop to my phone’s internet through a hotspot, will my work laptop only be able to see my home’s IP? Also my work laptop would need to connect to a work VPN.

Tldr; two devices, phone and work laptop. Phone connects to home VPN and laptop connects to work VPN. Laptop connects to internet through phone’s hotspot. Would laptop only be able to see home ip and work VPN ip? Or would it be able to know the actual ip?

Thanks.

You can try one of those portable routers that can connect to the Internet via WiFi or cable and configure it with VPN to your house. The work laptop won’t know any better !

For example: youtu.be/7_vk6cpPtxA?si=1Za57Lo2DIzu3lO9

This depends. LineageOS and some other Android Distributions support this, but Android doesn’t support it out of the box. iPhones don’t support it at all.

“GL iNet” has a dizzying array of products and some are designed for this (you can find them for sale on the usual scumbags). Surprisingly, for a niche brand you’ve likely never heard of the firmware is surprisingly robust and has a small but loyal community. Expensive, and you might not want to carry an extra piece of hardware to provide a bulletproof VPN connection, but worth it for the security IMO.

Unfortunately when you set the hotspot on Android, it doesn’t share the VPN. You would need to connect again from the PC or to use an app like “everything proxy” on the phone, then set the laptop to use the phone ip address as a proxy

Same on iOS. Hotspots do not share the VPN connection.

It seems Every Proxy is not open source. I like this app more: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.adonet.p…. It also isn’t open-source.
Instead, I started using TinyProxy in Termux. It’s very simple.
