Hi Endre,

If you're being paid to provide an intentionally restricted Internet
access service it's very easy: the middlebox simply blocks any
protocol it can't decypher. Basic security protocol: deny by default.
Any apps which won't work in that scenario... don't work. And that's
what the buyer is paying for.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
