If you open a specific site, is it visible to the provider?
Yes, in most cases it is the domain name that is visible, rarely — just its IP address. It also records the time and when you visited the site. The content of the sites is also visible.

And if you go to a site using the secure https Protocol from?
Then the provider sees only the site name or its IP address and all the content it does not see, since this is a secure https connection with encryption, so it is recommended to use it.

How can the provider find out that you downloaded a movie or program via torrent?
The thing is that the torrent rocker communicates with the torrent tracker via the http Protocol, so the provider can see everything that you downloaded (just by analyzing the page where it was downloaded from .torrent file) and when (started/finished). It is also possible to connect via https, but for some reason even the largest torrent in the CIS does not support this Protocol, but why is a mystery.

The provider saves everything that you download?
No, it's just physically impossible, no hard drives would be enough. Traffic is processed on the fly, sorted, and statistics are kept, which is exactly what it is stored for years.

Can the provider find out that you downloaded a torrent file?
Yes, maybe this is what they are trying to track — the interaction between the torrent client and the server, they can't analyze traffic inside the torrent network, because it is very, very expensive.

And if you use a VPN, the provider doesn't see anything?
Here just such a thing that at VPN Yes, the provider sees porridge — that is, encrypted data and analyze them, and even more so it will not decrypt, because it is almost unrealistic. But it can find out from the IP servers that this is a VPN specifically for encrypting traffic. This means that the user has something to hide, make your own conclusions.

If you use the openvpn program, then all programs will work through it, including the window update?
In theory, Yes, and in General it should be. But in practice, it all depends on the settings.

Can the provider find out the real IP address of a particular site if you went to it through a VPN?
Actually, no, but there is another point. If suddenly
The VPN will stop working, or if there is an error, Windows will just start working normally, i.e. without using a VPN-just directly. To fix this, first you need to configure the openvpn client itself, and secondly, use an additional firewall (I recommend Outpost firewall), where you can create global traffic rules.


That is, if the VPN glitched, the provider will see which site I'm sitting on?

Unfortunately, Yes, everything will be recorded automatically.

Can TOR provide anonymity?
it can, but it is desirable to configure it a little to use IP addresses other than all CIS, and also to change the addresses more often, for example, every three minutes. Also, for the best effect, I recommend using repeaters (bridges).

What does the provider see when you receive packages constantly from different IP addresses?
Providers have a system for detecting the use of TOR, but it IS not certain whether this system works in the presence of repeaters. The fact of using the TOR is also recorded and also tells the provider that this user may be hiding something.

Does the provider see the site address via tor or VPN ?
No, only the IP address
of the VPN or the output node of the Tor network.

Does the provider see the full address name when using the https Protocol?
No, only the domain address is visible (that is, only site.com), connection time and transmitted volume. But this data is not particularly useful for the provider in terms of information. If you use the http Protocol, you can see that everything is transmitted — both the full address and everything that you wrote/sent in a message by mail, for example, but again, this does not apply to Gmail — traffic is encrypted there.

So if you use connection encryption, you might already be on the list of suspects?
No, not exactly. On the one hand, Yes, but on the other hand, data encryption and even global encryption of the entire network can be used not only by some hackers or users, but also by individuals and organizations that are concerned about secure data transfer, which is logical, especially in the banking sector.

Does the provider see that the i2p network is being used?
It does, but so far this type of network is not familiar to providers as well as tor, which, due to its popularity, is attracting more and more attention from the special services. The provider sees traffic in i2p as encrypted connections to different IP addresses, which indicates that the client is working with a P2P network.

How do I know if I'm under SORM?
This abbreviation stands for a system of technical capabilities for operational search activities. And if you are connected to the Internet in Russia, you are already under surveillance by default. At the same time, this system is completely official and traffic must pass through it, otherwise Internet providers and Telecom operators will simply cancel the license.

How do I see all traffic on my PC the way providers see it?
This will help you with the traffic sniffing utility, the best of its kind is the network traffic analyzer.

Is it possible to understand that you are being followed?

To date, almost none, sometimes possible with an active attack type attack (man in the middle). If passive surveillance is used, it is technically impossible to detect it.

But what to do then, is there any way to make surveillance more difficult?
You can divide the Internet, i.e. your connection to it, into two parts. Sit in social networks, on Dating sites, watch entertainment sites, movies, do all this using a normal connection. And use the encrypted connection separately and in parallel — for example, install a VM for this purpose. Thus, you will have a more or less natural environment, so to speak, because many sites encrypt traffic, and Google in its services, and other large companies. But on the other hand, almost all entertainment sites do not encrypt traffic.
