Hello!

Would it be possible, to reduce the Ping when playing on a foreign host? Im from Europe, when I’m playing vs. people from North America (on their host), I get a ping from like ~130ms what is normal. Same to them on my host. 
Could I use a North American VPN to get a lower ping on their host or reduce it maybe to ~60ms? Or any other way? I know that VPN is mainly to protect the IP but I wonder if that could work

Possibly. It depends what the routing is like from the ISP. If its bad then you may get a lower ping from a VPN.

Do you could recommend a good VPN provider? What about NoLagVPN?

In general, VPNs add latency, however in some cases like bad routing mentioned above it can actually lower it. However, in my experience generally routing around the EU/US is alright. A VPN can help routing mostly in Asia and South America from what I've seen.
