The principles of net neutrality, formulated not so long ago, look quite attractive to users. As for Internet providers, few of them adhere to these principles, the majority still curtail traffic of a certain type, artificially “narrowing down” the channel. This is especially true of mobile operators (in the United States, even a few trials against Verizon and AT & T). So far, everything remains unchanged, but there is already a way to bypass the artificial restrictions on traffic left by providers.
Den Kaminsky , a well-known network security expert, created a software package that allows you not only to find out what types of traffic the provider is shaping, but also to avoid bottlenecks.
The software package is called N00ter (from the neutral router). By the way, the software was presented by Kaminsky at the next Black Hat conference on computer security (in fact, these conferences are always devoted to this topic). The software product from Kaminsky was announced, but it will appear on the Web only in a couple of weeks.

Well, it will look forward to it, because the N00ter can really bypass the shaping traps by disguising the types of traffic. This masking is done by creating a special type of VPN, so traffic is passed through a proxy, which allows you to hide the source of the traffic and, so to speak, the final destination. As a result, any type of traffic passes with the maximum speed available for a particular channel.
The goal with which Kaminsky created his software is to give Web users the opportunity to work without traffic restrictions. In addition, N00ter allows you to see what restrictions are imposed by which provider. Most providers claim that they do not "cut", although in fact this or that type of traffic is cut off by most providers (this is especially true for US providers, although, most likely, in other countries this problem is simply not covered properly).
