Hey, just an access-list is all that's needed... block UDP 500 (ISAKMP) and
IP Protocol 50 (ESP) and you're dead.

I'm running IPSEC across MediaOne cable modem now, but I haven't checked
their policies lately to see what they have to say about it.  Frankly, I
think most of this stuff is just documented so they can bust people who
abuse it... case in point, MediaOne bans the installation of any server on
the customer's equipment, but you still can.  However, I bet if you decided
to start another yahoo.com using your cable modem, they would pull out that
agreement....

In practice, how can they detect or prevent VPN users?  Doesn't it just look
like IP traffic?

@Home has banned VPNs or encrypted tunneling protocols from their network
(!).

http://www.comcastonline.com/subscriber-v3-red.asp

Read 6.B.viii.  Use of tunneling crypto makes you a "business" customer
subject to the ~10x higher fees.

FOAD, Comcast.
