What Your ISP Knows About You
Your Internet Service Provider is your gateway to the internet. This means they can see virtually everything you do online.
What ISPs Can Track
Websites You Visit
Every URL you access passes through your ISP's servers.
When You're Online
Your connection times and duration are logged.
Your Downloads
Files you download, including their size and type.
Your Location
Your physical address is tied to your account.
Device Information
What devices are connected to your network.
Why ISPs Track You
Legal Requirements
Many countries require ISPs to retain data for law enforcement.
Advertising Revenue
ISPs can sell anonymized browsing data to advertisers.
Network Management
Tracking helps optimize network performance.
Throttling
ISPs may slow certain types of traffic (like streaming).
How to Stop ISP Tracking
1. Use a VPN
A VPN encrypts your traffic so your ISP can only see encrypted data going to the VPN server.
2. Use HTTPS
HTTPS encrypts website content, though ISPs can still see which domains you visit.
3. Use DNS-over-HTTPS
Prevents ISPs from seeing your DNS queries.
4. Tor Browser
Routes traffic through multiple nodes for maximum anonymity (but slower).
