- rahimnathwani 5y agoThey could throttle bandwidth selectively, based on destination IP address range.
- Mindwipe 5y agoIn Netflix's case they don't even need that, the content will be coming from an OpenConnect cache in their premises.
- jtbayly 5y agoNo, that still makes sense. They limit the bandwidth to/from a particular domain. The VPN hides that. SSL doesn't.
- franga2000 5y agoThat actually makes it more likely. They're limiting speed to certain IP ranges, corresponding to streaming provider servers. If you connect via a tunnel, the destination address is different and therefore your traffic isn't throtteled.
