It can also be implemented using "Access Restriction" like this http://imgur.com/0sdc0CI


Can you SSH into your router and do an `iptables --list` ? I'm thinking that implementation uses the L7 chain. If that's the case then it may be a hair bit quicker using my implementation. Also, the REJECT rule is a bit cleaner than just dropping the packet, which I also suspect to be the case with "Access Restriction" implementation.


I can do iptables under the firewall settings, but ... it took me a while to find my way through this setting and I know it works, I tested by streaming YouTube content on AppleTV. I am going to leave it as it is.

If this workaround gets popular, I wonder if my provider (Comcast) and others will catch up and throttle youtube directly.

So far so good.
