Re: What does tunneling mean?

What does the category in this chart "tunneling" mean?

Most likely VPN tunneling, largely for P2P masking the users real IP. Also use to make yourself appear in a different location for geolocation purposes. Some streaming services require you to be in a particular country to use them, or to not be in a country.

Or it could be people working that need to use a VPN to connect to a corporate network.

Yeah. Uh huh. I bet that's what makes up most of that percentage.
