Oh cool someone posted my question on Techlore forum. Here’s link : How to play online games privately? - Techlore

Here’s the conclusion from the above post:

Yeah personally VPNs especially free ones never work best with games but even with paid ones the high ping results in almost unplayable matches.

So here’s what I conclude:

  1. Use a seperate device/profiles on device with a burner account (Google/Facebook) only for gaming purposes.
  2. If a game provide custom account with email, then use email alias and prefer that method over Google or Facebook. IMPORTANT.
  3. Use a ad and tracker blocking service like NextDNS or Adguard DNS or some sort of firewall like netguard to block most of the trackers.
  4. From OP (original forum): Don’t provide online games with device permissions such as microphone or contacts permission.
  5. Make sure to check the superficial toggles in the games and service providers to enhance the privacy of the games.
  6. VPNs may not work best with online games. Do a try test if it works, use it else don’t bother using a VPN service.
  7. Keep SSO like Google/Facebook as last resort if nothing else works.

If anyone wants to add something here. Go ahead.

point 4: Here OP is me as this response is written in Techlore’s forum by @smartbirb. Check the link I posted in top of this post.

PS: I think that’s all someone can do currently to play online games more privately. I hate that most online and offline games are owned by Chinese company Tencent and we do know how nefarious are chinese companies when it comes to the data collection.
