This is all fine unless the VPN is not really using its own DNS service and is actually using the DNS service of the ISP. When the VPN uses it’s own DNS service, the ISP won’t be able to work out which websites you are visiting and in some cases what you are downloading (as said earlier the filename link may give away what you’re downloading).
A good VPN will use its own DNS, so circumventing the ISP DNS so the ISP will only see the connection to the VPN and nothing else.

The ISP will probably have their own DNS service, allowing them to have control over the information this logs.Īrmed with this DNS information the ISP can work out where their user is visiting and by putting put two and two together, they can realise it’s a torrent website. The DNS service will keep logs of requests made to it for IP addresses and this allows ISPs to be able to see your browsing history, as every website visited is logged with the DNS service. Once this has been done, the IP address is then used to find the location of the website and connect to it. When you visit a website, the first step is for your ISPs DNS service to work out the IP address of the website you want to visit. This is like a giant set of directories holding the mapping of internet resources to IP addresses. The actual determination of the IP address associated with an internet resource such as a website address is done using the Domain Naming Service (DNS). Likewise, the IP address makes it easy to locate where internet resources such as websites are located. With the correct IP address of the website, a connection can be routed correctly across the internet to the correct place. Think of the IP address as a house number and postal code, just we these two details it’s easy to locate the location of a house. This IP address has the location of the website and allows the internet to make connections to this address. When you connect to the internet using your ISP, the ISP uses a internet service to translate the website’s address e.g.

I look in detail below, the protective measures provided by a good VPN ( check latest list of reputable VPNs here) that can stop ISPs from seeing what’s been downloaded by their customers. In both cases the ISP DNS will be used instead of the private VPN DNS for name queries, giving away the names of the sites and files being downloaded. If I use a VPN can my ISP track what I download? The only way the ISP can see what’s being downloaded using a VPN is if the VPN does not have DNS leak protection or a kill switch. S:policy-list-include:172.26.x.x / a VPN to stop Internet Service Providers (ISP) tracking what their customers download sounds like a good idea and many people use VPNs to protect the privacy of what they’re doing online.
