Bypass rules for Netflix AWS servers?

While I'm not at liberty give details on what can/can't be decrypted - I can assure you VPN can, and is, decrypted at times - and it certainly doesn't take the NSA's resources to do it.
Not doubting you, but I'd like to see proof of that…

Go to blackhat this summer, there are always interesting proof of concepts there.
The issue is that it isn't practical for most to do in brute force. It is much easier to crack/get the VPN password from a client and then decrypt natively via interception. Obviously that is a multi-step / multi-factor circumvention of the encrypted tunnel, but still possible.
VPN is still useful, and still overall effective. It just isn't 100% guaranteed to be such if you have a determined attacker. But for anything else it can hold up (unless they compromise one of your VPN endpoint/clients directly… ;) ).
