How does this utility help bypass speed throttling in Russia?
GoodbyeDPI is a utility for bypassing Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) technology, which is used by internet providers or government agencies to control and filter internet traffic. GoodbyeDPI helps bypass website blocking and access to certain resources by altering data packets in such a way that DPI systems are unable to process them correctly.
The thing is, inspecting traffic requires significant power, and inspecting YouTube traffic, which is VERY large, requires a HUGE amount of power and server equipment, which Russia currently lacks.
That's why they use the quick DPI technology, which requires much less server equipment power.
DPI is very simple and fast, by default configured to analyze the first 92 bytes of a packet.
But what if you split these bytes into parts? What if you send fewer than 92 bytes? Then the router will decide not to waste time on this non-standard situation and let it through.
This is exactly how GoodbyeDPI works – the most popular utility for bypassing YouTube "throttling."
