Does using a VPN truly create a "dedicated tunnel" that takes up space from dynamic traffic? I'm trying to resolve why only so many users can use a single hotspot while connected to VPN, but more users can use it if not connected to VPN. Is the VPN doing something with that shared bandwidth that "locks" or "binds" pieces of it for each tunnel? That is what one of the techs in my team is suggesting.
My understanding was that the "tunnel" is really just the same data but encrypted and therefore has added overhead. But not that the tunnel is consuming bandwidth that is then unusable by anyone else until the tunnel is turned off.
edit: extra stuff
