[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1822124, member: 110816"] HTTP communicates over port 80 and HTTPS (secure connection) communicates over port 443. So if you wanted to prevent secure connections, you just need to block port 443 and you're toast. If you VPN to a location outside of the realm of the firewall, then the connections happen as they should. A VPN shouldn't slow down your access in general, but a lot of people who need to VPN are doing so from places without the fastest Internet connections so it seems like being VPN'ed in is slower than not. If you are seeing better connection speeds, then you are likely VPN'ing into a access point that has pretty good bandwidth. [/QUOTE]
