How would ISPs differentiate between VPNs over something like HTTP traffic?
- Someone1234 8y agoDeep packet inspection.
- sigjuice 8y agoHow about over HTTPS traffic?
- briffle 8y agoYou mean your single stream of HTTPS traffic to a known destination 24x7?
- frankzinger 8y agoWhat if you only use the HTTPS VPN when necessary, e.g. for streaming Netflix (seeing that they've been a target before), but for regular browsing, email, DNS, etc. you don't?
- nnforall 8y agoLack of DNS queries for one small example.
- dordoka 8y agoThere are enough differences between HTTPS and VPN protocols to be able to distinguish them using DPI. IDS/IPS vendors even show this as a feature usually.
- dkudriavtsev 8y agoThere's protocols like stunnel that hide your arbitrary TCP traffic in a TLS tunnel that looks like web traffic.
