impossible to detect? No, extremly hard to identify what it is? yes.

Who cares if they can see it's 5 GB stream, they have no way of knowing whether or not it's a pirated movie versus a backup from a home server or a data stream.

In fact some vpns are actually starting to implement data buffering where it makes every request is the same size regardless of what it is to protect against AI Assisted traffic analysis

Plus, people are fighting detection too. Where "normal" VPN protocols are recognized and blocked, like China, people are trying to make them indistinguishable from normal HTTPS traffic.

Yeah, if they wanted to setup deep packet inspection on that level. I'd imagine it would require billions of dollars in compute resources. And it would still suck.

some vpns

Well "some vpn's" deserve all our business.

if you were looking for a recommendation, I use mullvad, their version is called DAITA, it randomizes the packets to help defend against it
