I use a VPN appliance to connect my IP phone into it's Ethernet port. I also use a Personal VPN on my laptop for my softphone while traveling. The appliance is always connected to the VPN. Etilsat knows I am connected to a VPN but they don't know what the traffic is. For all they know I'm connecting to my business servers overseas. I've been doing this for 2+ years with no problem. My understanding is that a true VPN encrypts all ports and connections so nothing can leak by and reveal what you are doing. This is common with Java applications which will connect outside of proxy programs. So based on experience I'd say get the VPN and don't sweat it. All I can tell you is my experience.
