VPNs were designed to allow secure connections for outworkers connecting to company networks. They were not intended to assist people to get around traffic management.

Using a VPN as a consumer is the equivalent of the Audi Q8/Porsche Cayanne flying past stationary traffic on the hard shoulder.

Like everyone else I want as much bandwidth as I can get but my company VPN is capped at 1M.

I would be interested in hearing why people want to use VPNs.

I should also add that I am against Traffic Management but it is the lesser of two evils if it means my connection does not fall to dial up speeds.
