![]() ![]() Network administrators who are interested in who might be doing illegal things can watch for that traffic. Keep in mind that Tor traffic has a distinctive fingerprint. Do be aware of local cached data (incognito mode is your friend here). ![]() Opera VPN + cloudflare DNS should provide privacy ISP from account owners. This might be preferable to being watched by people who know you, but do keep it in mind. This means they actively collect and actively sell your connection data. In that case you may wish to explore shadowsocks.ĭo be aware that most free VPN services fund their operation by monetizing your traffic data. If you live under a repressive government they will try to block or disrupt VPN traffic (note to representatives of repressive governments, privacy is necessary for information security and basic human dignity). If you wanted to build your own openvpn server in the cloud there are some setup scripts on github. The Opera browser now includes free ephemeral VPN. This causes the traffic to all go out over a single encrypted tunnel (or in the case of tor many encrypted tunnels) till it leaves the network owned by the snoopers. To get around this, people use VPN or an onion router such as Tor. The next easiest is to actually log connections. People can get around this by using non ISP dns servers such as 1.1.1.1 (cloudflare dns) or 8.8.8.8 (google dns) The easiest way for an ISP to inspect what users are doing is by inspecting logged dns queries. ISPs can absolutely log traffic upstream from your router. Some people say "You should never browse with Tor with anything but Tor Browser" but it's more nuanced than that. Both Tor Browser and Brave have trade-offs, see this tweet thread (in particular the replies from Tom Lowenthal, their Security & Privacy PM). This is not user-configuring a browser for Tor (which the Tor project advises against, it's too easy to miss out important things), it's a browser from privacy-obsessed people with a Tor-enabled private browsing mode. You can also use the Brave browser (no affiliation), based on the Chromium project, in its "Private window with Tor" mode. The project includes Tor Browser, based on Firefox ESR, which makes it really easy to browse over Tor. You can make it (nearly) impossible for your ISP to know what sites you're visiting by using Tor or similar. Whether your ISP will provide that information to your parents is another question, I expect it varies by locale/jurisdiction and possibly ISP. :-) They maintain their own logs, which you cannot delete. ![]() You could wipe its memory, subject it to an EMP, and crush its chips to dust, and it wouldn't have any effect on them. Your ISP's record of your network usage isn't in any way affected by you doing anything to your router. If I delete my router's history, is it still visible and can my ISP still provide it to my parents? Or is it deleted from existence? ![]()
