Thank you all for your replies.
So, SSH tunnels aren't encrypted? Or are they not using strong enough
encryption?
Changing service providers wouldn't help because most service providers are
connected through the incumbent which is the source of most restrictions.
I have considered Tor. However, they do not encourage using it for P2P
downloads. Tor is run by volunteers and not a profit making company. I feel
that it wouldn't be nice to violate a volunteer's request for appropriate
use.
I'll think about the VPN idea, though, unless anyone has a different
suggestion.
