I recently got a new router with "Threat Prevention" and it shows traffic for Tor and Bittorrent. I suspect that Zoom is using Tor/Bittorrent. Is that true?

They definitely are using some form of Torrent traffic/Protocol. This may be because of their P2P ways but Blocking BitTorrent Traffic on our firewalls broke zoom.
