- yoloshii 10mo agoThat's where VPN obfuscation is the play, imo. A lot of people nowadays are leaving streaming platforms or watch YT on smart TVs, so it does have a place. You can always exclude a device from the VPN coverage too.
- Retr0id 10mo agoObfuscation only protects you from your own ISP messing with VPN connections. Streaming services (etc.) can't see what protocol you're using between yourself and the VPN in any case, they just see the VPN's exit IP address. Which is likely on their list of known VPN IPs.
- yoloshii 10mo agoIf you start countering geolocation blocking with vps rental and VLESS vray etc then its still good to obfuscate at the endpoint. Passing VPN traffic off as something else is good policy wherever your tunnel goes.
