Do ISPs know our internet histories? And to what extent?
I'm a brainlet, but I have heard that if you visit, for example, www.faggot.com and some other pages from the same domain, like www.faggot.com/asdfg and www.faggot.com/qwerty, they will only know that you visited the site, but will not know which of those pages you looked at. Is this true?
Other urls found in this thread:
upturn.org
blog.uncensoreddns.org
twitter.com
If you connect to 192.168.0.1 you'll be able to configure your router. One of the options will be to see the history of every website visited, as well as from what machine.
If you can view this your ISP definitely can.
Yes
Yes dumbass
ONLY the site your on
>they will only know that you visited the site, but will not know which of those pages you looked at. Is this true?
Only if you're using SSL
They can see which pages you visit based on the requests you ask servers, but if your connection is encrypted they cannot see the data within that page.
They can inference that you, for instance, posted on Jow Forums if you upload data to their server, potentially based on the destination, timing and size of packets they can also inference what pages you visit on a domain; side-channel information.
>Today, ISPs can see a significant amount of their subscribers’ Internet activity, and have the ability to infer substantial amounts of sensitive information from it. This is especially true when that traffic is unencrypted. However, even when Internet traffic is encrypted using HTTPS, ISPs generally retain visibility into their subscribers’ DNS queries. Detailed analysis of DNS query information on a per-subscriber basis is not only technically feasible and cost-effective, but actually takes place in the field today. Moreover, ISPs and the vendors that serve them have clear opportunities to develop methods of inferring important information even from encrypted data flows
Yes, don't use your ISP dns, change it to something safer
so is quad9 a good alternative dns?
Yes it's good but 1.1.1.1 is alot better
In theory they can know the Metadata of any of your connections as well as the content of not encrypted connections.
In practice you have way too much data and nobody cares about you anyway, so they only store Metadata for a limited time (3/6/12 months), mostly due to legislation. Your ISP doesn't care if you are a terrorist, right wing extremist, support communism, sell drugs etc.
All your ISP cares about is the cost of saving Metadata of you which the ISP can never sell and only give to authorities, who will not pay a cent for this. They'll save what they are required by law to save and nothing more. That said if the police or some agency takes an interest in you your data will obviously saved somewhere.
Usw incognito mode. Duh.
It's called TLS now, grandpa.
Brainlet
How is any alternative safer? They all can log your activity
They have it on file but given they have millions of customers and you're just a faceless name to them they're unlikely to actively view it.
yes user, they know your dark secrets. sleep tight.
Yes it's safer cloudflare dns and blog.uncensoreddns.org
i think he meant the ISP can still know what you're visiting
Should I use OpenDNS or 1.1.1.1
>but will not know which of those pages >you looked at.
Oh dont worry about that thats google job
1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1
What kind of shitty botnet ass router saves your browsing history?
Just encrypt your fucking DNS.
