The whole point of using a VPN with sufficiently secure handshake and
encryption is "nobody can look inside".
OTOH if you deal with a government, they might be able to correlate
packet timing and such ("there are 3 packets coming in over the VPN,
and 3 packets of similar size going out the Internet at the same time"),
or they might just hack your server... don't mess with governments.
