VPN provider bans BitTorrent after getting sued by film studios

Interesting considering how long they advertised directly on ThePirateBay

Trackers are usually relatively well known and traffic to those specifically may be dropped

Otherwise, packet inspection on network devices should be able to discern the traffic.

I'm not well versed in this area anymore, but you can tell from the contents/patterns of packets that this source and that destination are using a given protocol.

I don't believe this type of traffic is encrypted - and the VPN provider has to decapsulate the traffic at some point :)

I heard sometimes they are part of the peers upload/downloading the torrent content and they just get a list of all the other peers they're connected to and send DMCAs to each of them.

edit: I misread your comment. I was talking about the copyright holders not VPN providers.

It says they will use firewall, so i would assume blocking the default port and maybe known trackers.

Why? Doesn't think prove that their customers are actually protected, unlike the many other popular VPNs?
