Easy, IPSec VPN uses IP Protocols 50 and 51 (ESP and AH) (see this for details)
According what you posted, both those Protocols are only used in IPv6.

50 ESP Encap Security Payload for IPv6 [RFC2406]
51 AH Authentication Header for IPv6 [RFC2402]

Rockville, MD | If your VPN doesn't use IPSec, or v6, is the traffic still easily distinguishable? |

Not only used in IPv6, but IPSec is a mandated part of IPv6, but it's optional for IPv4.

There are ways innumerable to setup a 'VPN' without Comcast knowing it.. for example, you can use an arbitrtary port and SSH tunnel though it which is effectively a VPN, but the typical usage of the term VPN refers to IPSec. Lesser used is PPTP, but this would be alost as easy to detect, as it uses well known ports.

Green Lane, PA | I'm confused. Is this referring to Comcast Pro ($95 a month) or the more expensive service like CCIS?
We have a Comcast Pro ($95 a month) account that we solely use for our VPN... it's used by a branch office with 6 employees, and also by about 10 attorneys during the nights/weekend... So it gets pretty heavy usage. I however never received a letter (to my knowledge)... |

I already asked (see my first post) and it is CCIS, not Pro.

Apparently, this refers to a hybrid-Comcast Pro account ($95/mo, limited to 5 computers). In exchange for an additional $95/mo, the customer is granted permission to connect 5 more computers.

Correct. I am waiting on an email back from regionial HQ, on the VPN question, everyone else I talked to had no idea and had never heard of a cap before. I'm thinking I won't hear anything till next week knowing how long it takes comcast. And I'm for sure not signing that contract as the way its stated. |
