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.

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
