VPN/VOIP are typically UDP encapsulating a higher-level protocol (which
may or may not have flow control). It sounds like what you want is
something like the Wondershaper script, which will let everyone do
whatever up to a max, and then drop lower-priority traffic when the
limits of the connection are reached.

VPN or VOIP will win against HTTP simply because it's UDP vs. TCP.
