Usually, in places like a University residence there are some restrictions when it comes to internet: people can access the internet but cannot use programs like Torrent or p2p clients and sometimes VoIP phones.. My question is:

Technically, how does the system understands that I'm using DC++, uTorrent, VoipBuster or whatever ?!

(And if someone knows by the way: Is it possible to overide this restriction by using programs like Tor or Privoxy?!)

Thank you in advance!
