Igni will be the best person to answer that. When they first implement p2p shaping years ago you was ableto get round it by using a vpn because the traffic was encrypted and they couldnt see what it was. They then put some new hardware on the network for "deep packet inspection" which was supposed to circumvent your vpn and see that it is p2p traffic. I remember Igni telling us about it at the time so he can explain how it all works. It was a long time ago, i am sure it was 2011.
