As I understand things, ESP is protocol 50 and ISAKMP is typically UDP=500.
under IPsec. Encryption under IPsec for any purpose, VPN or otherwise would
must utilize protocol 50 and likely will use UDP=500. To filter VPN traffic
would require the invalid premise that any IPsec encrypted traffic must be VPN
traffic.
The truth of the matter is my ISP sold me bandwidth. How I use it is none of
their business. I understand the desire to cripple the service provided for
financial gain, however the ISP marketed bandwidth and Internet connectivity and
sold bandwidth and Internet connectivity. That's what I expect to use.
