What does my provider know about me?

What does my provider know about me?

When I visit a specific site, does the provider see the URL?
Yes.

And if I go to https?
The server IP and domain name are known. Nothing more.

How does the provider know that I am downloading a specific movie / program through torrent?
The torrent client communicates with the tracker via HTTP. Everything is visible through and through: specific torrents + all statistics (when downloading started, when finished, when distribution went, how many were distributed). It is possible to connect to the tracker via HTTPS, but rutracker.org does not give such an opportunity (I also wonder why).

All the packages that I receive and distribute, so the provider downloads itself to find out what kind of movie / program it is?
The provider does not store all the traffic. This is technically impossible. But the traffic is processed, classified and logs are kept on what type of traffic when it entered / left the subscriber.

Or does he track the fact of downloading a .torrent file, and then concludes by going packages that it is downloading?
Basically, the communication between the torrent client and the tracker is monitored (there is the most interesting thing). Communications between peers require considerable power for decryption, therefore only the fact of communication with a certain peer is logged, but not the content.

When I use VPN, what does the provider see?
See encrypted traffic on a specific IP. By IP, you can find out that this range is sold under VPS. The fact of encrypted traffic hangs the subscriber on the lists of those who have something to hide, which means suspects at any search.

That I went to a specific IP and encrypted streams come from it?
It is impossible to track the further direction of traffic from the VPN server (at least on the equipment of the provider in automatic mode). But with targeted tracking of the subscriber, in principle, it is possible to match the subscriber's traffic with the traffic of any server using timestamps.

OpenVPN will work through VPN IP both in the browser and when updating Windows drivers, ...?
Depending on the setting. But in general, yes.

I read that there is such a feature in Windows that if the provider somehow cuts the packet, then the VPN is disconnected and my real IP is shown to the site?
It is not related to the provider. This is a feature of Windows. When the VPN falls off, all traffic flies out in the clear. Again depends on the settings. But this is another price of "convenience" when using Windows.

At the same time, the provider sees on which site I’m downloading?
The VPN has fallen off - the hacker has set fire.

Are there many such chips?
Watching what I mean. In the field of network security and anonymity, there are many different nuances.

How to protect yourself from them?
Learn materiel. Understand network protocols and the OS device.

If I use some kind of extension like ZenMate, dotvpn, does the provider, like with a VPN, see that something is being sent and arrives at a specific VPN IP?
Extensions are very different. They can be based on completely different technologies. No specialist will tell you for all the extensions. It is possible that many of them, in fact - honeypot, that is, created to track lovers of anonymity, attract with their convenience and give a false sense of security.

When using Tor, does someone use my IP while I use someone else's?
Not. If you have not configured Exit Node.

What does the provider see in this case that I receive data streams from certain IPs and each time a different IP?
They have an accurate detection system using Tor. This fact remains in the logs with the same consequences as for a VPN.

Does the provider see the URL?
Via Tor and VPN - no.

How can I completely control the network on a PC, see what, where and when it goes or arrives on a PC (Windows, Linux)?
See all: Wireshark - Google-Suche
Block all unnecessary: Comodo Firewall - Google-Suche

Provider it’s not at all clear what it is, who in my heart I don’t have tea.
An optical wire comes into my office and there is a box with a wi-fi antenna.
It has been working for about 5 years or more, recently the Internet was cut down and a splash screen appeared with the message that the account needs to be replenished, after a couple of minutes everything worked again, but I managed to screen the splash screen, now I'm wondering what my tariff is.
I didn’t pay for 5 years, I’ve got 947 rubles on my account and it’s kind of paid for 2872 days.
