So my future isp Jio fiber is rumoured to be using DPI. Main proof comes when a executive said "It’s called Deep Packet Inspection, and what you can do with the analytics of that is mind-boggling," in a new article. https://reuters.com/article/...

Should I be afraid or am I just being paranoid. Also should I just switch to another isp altogether if they are using DPI.

Also mini rant :- They make it harder to use your own router by not allowing bridge mode on their router and custom onts dont seem to work. The best option is to connect lan port of their router to the wan port of your router and disable wifi on their router

    Assume ALL ISPs these days are doing DPI. It's pretty standard practice unfortunately - if an ISP says they weren't,I'm not sure I'd believe them (you've got no way of verifying it either way.)

    If you really don't want to lump it, about the only thing you can do is just run everything over a VPN (but then your VPN provider could also be doing the same thing without you knowing, so it's not magic bullet.)

    @AlmondSauce fuck vpn providers. If you don't need fukk anonymity, fire up an ec2 in aws in the nearest region with OpenVPN. Use t².micro, first year is free. (or you can keep it free forever with dropping and recreating your aws account every year. I did that once, the I decided that it's only a few bucks.
