we use vpns at work... I am the network admin all a vpn does is encrypt and use a private pipe between you and the vpn endpoint.. once the packet gets there it goes out on the net like a regular packet..
ie you ----- vpn encrypted etc --- endpoint ----- regular traffic to p2p site
so unless the vpn endpt is at the p2p site this would do nothing to help with the issue????
Sure it does... the ISP won't be able to tell who you are connected to, except the VPN IP address. So, the ISP can't track how many peers you are connecting to, and therefore can't tell you are using a bit torrent program -- they just see the one stream of data to/from the VPN and that's it.
