Can my ISP see what websites I visit when I use a proxy like this one ?

For example if I use dtunnel.com , can my ISP see what websites I visit ?

 

Short answer is yes.

 

Doesn't my ISP need the cookie used by dtunnel to decode the URL ?

Can you see what website I visit based on the above ?



What solution is there for this ?

 

The solution is to use an actual proxy that reroutes all data through a proxy server.

 

Can you give an example of such a proxy ?

What website you see when you click on the above dtunnel link ?

 

I see Yahoo.

The point is while it might fool a simple flyover, it won't fool anyone who's monitoring your connection.

In layman's terms, how parinoid are you? If you are bypassing firewalls, the above solution will work.

If you are avoiding detection, then you need to find a proxy server to connect to and set your browser to connect to it.

If you are even more paranoid, set up an SSL tunnel to connect to the proxy server.

There are countless guides on the internet. It just depends on what level of anonymity that you want.

 

what exactly is the problem here?

???? that link just recycles to this thread.

 

Read the first post

By the way, the link further up just gives me the dtunnel site

 

I seriously doubt that your ISP would give a crap about what sites you visit anyway, unless it's something about assassinating Obama or planning a terrorist attack.

 

That would depend a lot on the country.

And they are forced by law in some EU countries to log IP addresses - they can always check later.

At a guess I'm sure the same happens in the US:

 

Yeah,they log your IP addresss. But I would be more worried in the EU, there they crack down on everything.

 

ah, game playing.

I asked what the real problem is, not for a regurgitation of post #1.

For example, is the OP trying to hide their web traffic from 'supervision' or does he need to get some kind of tunnel running or ???

 

I think its important to differentiate between Europe (the gepgraphic continent) and the EU Commission...

But I know what you mean... they seem to be going mad...

But on the tunneling or proxy - that would have to be outside the EU for best results...
Possibly in some place like North Korea maybe...
Or South Krea/Japan so that there is too much traffic on it...

 

Wouldnt your default DNS queries still be resolved by your ISP?

Ding ding ding!

Those keywords have triggered the system.

FBI should be kicking down your door anytime soon...

 

If he's tunneling, then no.

enjoy the tracebacks folks.....

 

All that is fine and dandy. But if you really want to trigger the filters, try child bestiality. Don't ask your parents, kids. Or anyone else, for that matter.

 

Or look for sites that sell explosive material.

 

Just out of interest, is there any legal purpose that would require hiding your traffic from your ISP?

I'm trying to think of one, but can't for the life of me.

 

Maybe you should ask the opposite - is there any legal reason why ISPs should monitor your connections except where authorized by a judge to investigate a crime.

 

This is like asking a stranger why they have any right to be offended if you listen in on their telephone conversation.

 

Well I would say there's not - just because they have the ability does not mean they should use it where not justified.

But the only reason aside from personal principle/paranoia that someone would actively seek to disguise their activities from someone who isn't really likely to be interested at all in your occasional visit to iliketodressupinmywifesclothes.com is where having someone view your activities would lead to action on their part.

Which would only occur if you had breaches ToS, or your region's laws. Which in my experience would have resulted in this thread getting whacked.

I'm all for civil liberties, but I'm also a pragmatist, and I think "The Man" would probably be spending his time looking at traffic that had been red-flagged, rather than trawling through my internet history on the offchance that something suspicious had escaped automated filters.

Well, it's like talking within my earshot. Yes, I could overhear them. But I probably wouldn't give it a second thought unless they shot me a sneaky glance and lowered their voice.

 

I think I there is a fear this may turn into a political dicussion thread...
At least if we argue the pros and con of survaillance/data logging.

I for my part am against general data mining, IP logging etc.

 

I don't think so. Australia doesn't give a crap, lol.

 

This thread is going wayyyyyy off-topic

OP already got the answer from within the first few replies. And to re-iterate the answer to the thread title - YES!

cheers ...

 

Maybe Australia does not give a crap, but you don't know that behind the door, Australian government is bound by some arrangements to report these "red flags" back to the interested partners.

cheers ...
