Hey folks,
I'm a german computer science student living in dorm where internet traffic is limited to around 80GB per month. Our property manager told me that the traffic accounting system disregards HTTP packets, so our ability to visit educational resources on the web is not limited.
So, technically, it might be possible to tunnel traffic through HTTP, routing it to a proxy server outside the dorm with unlimited access to the internet. But as HTTP is a application level protocol I don't know how to rate this idea.
Are there any technologies like that avaible on the market?
How good do they perform?
