Use Mullvad, iVPN or Proton and they really won’t see what you’re doing
with Mullvad and iVPN, be sure to use the quantum encryption. And to help obscure your traffic with proton, be sure to use a proxy that has around 50% to 60% usage. That way anyone who tries to use a quantum computer to break the encryption on a proton VPN proxy is going to see everyone else’s traffic using that proxy as well as you. There would be a lot of shit to go through even if they use a quantum computer.
the IP address of your modem? Well your ISP will easily be able to tell whether or not you’re using a VPN. And I guess at that level if someone used a quantum computer on your modem’s connection from the modem to the proxy, then yeah, they’d probably be able to evesdrop as long as they have access to the lines from your house to the hub of your local ISP and the VPN you’re using doesn’t have quantum-safe encryption.
If you’re in a position where you’d need to worry about a corporation or government using a quantum computer to get into your shit you’ve got bigger problems.
From what I understand, it requires a fuck-ton of electricity to run a quantum PC and they’d need to use even more electricity on top of that to keep it cool in a refrigerated room at sub-zero temperatures.
But that’s only what all the tech-companies making them are currently saying. There’s probably more advanced stuff that they’re keeping secret. We’ll never know until another whistleblower sacrifices their entire life to tell the world about it.
A VPN encrypts traffic between your device and the VPN server, and any packet on that path includes your IP address. So anyone attempting to decrypt your VPN traffic can trivially distinguish your packets from other users of the VPN server.
A VPN is only a single end point just like your ISP meaning you are only shifting the problem to your VPN provider who admittedly is more trustworthy than your ISP but you are still putting an immense amount of trust into a single point of failure.
If you truly want to hide from your ISP or really anyone, your only options are to use TOR or I2P where your traffic is encrypted and tumbled through multiple servers.
As someone who hosts my own dns server I can confirm that I can see everything that is accessed but the not the whole url, I can see the base url like if you access YouTube, I’ll see that you pinged YouTube.com, what you received exactly I don’t know but I can tell that you went on YouTube.
I always thought private browsing was just so all the porn content doesn’t stay in search history’s and the address bar doesn’t auto fill fatasshonkeybabes.com if my grandmother sits down to look at her Facebooks.
And it was always clearly stated as such. It’s absurd that anyone was upset by this. I have yet to find a single user on here who did not properly understand what it was for, or at least none willing admit to being that dumb.
Very non tech savvy person here, that is just a normie reddit refugee. I know what Linux is, but have never really worked with it. Don’t have an opinion about it. I recently installed a pi hole in my home network by following step by step instructions. That’s the most techy stuff I ever did in my life and I would have never dared to try it, if I hadn’t read a comment on lemmy that linked an easy introduction into working with raspberry pis.
Private browsing in Google Chrome will not store your browsing data locally into your computer; but Google will still keep that data in their own records.
No, a lot will default to that, but they can’t force you to use any particular dns server. I mean they can, buts a fcc violation at that point I believe
…no, it didn’t. ISPs can’t just block access to specific dns servers Willy nilly. They can slow down specific dns servers of their choice but there’s literally no incentive to do so. Your individual dns traffic isn’t that important I promise.
They do worse than block it, the redirect it to their own servers.
And the data is worth it at volume. They have hundreds of thousands of users, along with the region they are in, as well as data on what websites they visit.
Advertisers have and continue to pay for that data.
I always thought they exist because privacy. Regular old DNS requests are not encrypted so even if you send a request to 9.9.9.9 your ISP can still see it.
They could technically just drop and traffic over port 53 that is not destined to their own DNS servers. But that’s china level shit. I’ve never seen an ISP control this in North America.
They can also redirect that traffic to their own DNS servers, so you think you are using 3rd party DNS, when you are actually still using theirs. This became legal when the Trump administration got rid of net neutrality legislation.
Only in Chrome? In every browser using private mode, private mode only delete the local storage (wbSQL, Serviceworkers, cookies, cache, etc), no other things, it hide nothing, for webpages which log you (or the search engine you use, AI and some other extensions which you use in "private"mode) it’s irrelevant if you use private or normal mode. It’s a very frecuent missconcept to believe that the private mode is the same as anonym browsing, simple extensions, like Cookie Autodelete or SiteBleacher do exactly the same as browsing in private mode, but with the feature that you can partial or full whitelist the pages where private mode isn’t needed.
More or less Private only if you use VPN, SPN, MPR, Snowflake or at least a proxie.
Well, all browser have incognito or private mode, it’s nothing special. Vivaldi in this moment has released in the last snapshot an inbuild MPR in test, this will be a real private incognito mode.
