For your ISP, yes. However, the VPN provider can log your traffic (and many do), so if there’s an issue Johnny Law could subpoena the VPN provider’s logs to see what you were connecting to.
Your ISP sees the VPN session and can see your ingress point, the VPN provider’s IP address, that is. I use a VPN primarily to give my ISP the finger over seeing my traffic and selling the data. Between that and using tools like Ghostery and adblockers I rarely get stuff related to my Internet wanderings. I also use DuckDuckGo for my searches. -D > On Jul 12, 2020, at 10:25 AM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > On Sun, July 12, 2020 10:12 am, Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrote: >> Private Internet Access might allow that, I think the subscription covers >> everyone in a household. >> >> I use them because they don't keep logs. > > Not keeping logs is the whole point of VPN, isn't it? > > I would assume that when you're running the VPN's client software on a > device, the VPN doesn't care if that device is in your household or not, > just that there are no more devices on your VPN account at any particular > time than you're allowed to have. > > Like when we had a 3 device Netflix subscription, she could be in the > bedroom Chromecasting the TV from her phone, I could be in the living room > running the TV, and her dad could be in a truck stop in Texas watching his > phone, and only two of those devices were running on my household's ISP. > > _______________________________________ > http://www.okiebenz.com > > To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ > > To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: > http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com > _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
