Does using https and vpn secure connections from overseas box help to avoid being throttled/shaped on shaped ADSL accounts??
 
Oh, ok. then I should avoid using that... then will they shape even the FTP port on a shaped account? e.g. Afrihost's 4mbps uncapped?
 
If you are gonna bypass the shaping protocols use it responsibly, luckily mweb are awesome regarding shaping so I dont even bother with bypassing it :D
Infact I find that my P2P speeds are faster when not using a VPN, I only use a VPN for work these days :p
 
Sometimes I just HAVE to use VPN (e.g. for streaming Hulu). Perhaps I can discuss the maximum amount downloadable in a month on my account?

and is Afrihost quite hectic at shaping compared to Mweb?
 
I stream Hulu and Netflix wtihout a VPN, I make use of Unotelly advise you to take a look at it as well.
