Popis: Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are one example of encrypted communication services commonly used to bypass censorship and access geographically locked services. This study performed VPN and non-VPN traffic analysis and developed a classification system based on the new techniques of machine learning classifiers known as stacking ensemble learning. The methods used for VPN and Non-VPN classification use three machine learning techniques: random forest, neural network, and support vector machine. To assess the proposed method's performance, we tested it on a dataset containing 61 features. The experiment results accurately prove the study's classifiers to differentiate between VPN and Non-VPN traffic. The accuracy level was approximately 99% in the training and testing phase. The study's classifiers also show the best standard deviation, with a 100% accuracy rate compared to other A.I. classifier methods.
