yes the isp's always monitor your internet usage.... why i say this is because i got a call from my isp....so hell yeah i know they do monitor in somewhat a way your internet activity ... but not 24/7 paranoid kind of way... but its not like they dont even glance at it at all....

do they tell us if we ask what sites we have visited?
Do they know if we are using vpn?
and i'd like someone to answer david's quiestion if they can still peek even when we have cleared the history...
Do they have the sites that we have visited in a database record or something?

*DO* they? There's no way to know for sure. Some might, but I suspect most do not. You're just not that intersting.

*COULD* they? Yes, of course.

There's no way to know exactly what any specific ISP is actually doing. And whatever you might find out today about one ISP will be different tomorrow, or for any other ISP. The important thing here is to know that they COULD, not try and rely on what the DO.

Also you can use logless public vpn service called VPN Privacy and surf anonymously.

There are many service providers who provide VPN service. I use VPN service of mp4you.net so I don't worry about my employer.
I was using another VPN service www.vpngates.com, but there are serious bandwidth limitations.

i'm not worried about the ISP so much as the low paid customer service staff who hate their jobs, their lives, and have nothing better to do than cause havoc using my identity

If I delete the history, and all associated files to my internet usage, such as porn, etc... Can they still view it? I'd like to know how to cover some tracks... I definately have learned that I can't be looking at non-business material at work... HELP?!?!?!?

Possibly. They could have installed spyware, or configured your system to
access their proxies even though you've not explicitly done so yourself.

Thanks,

I sometimes use my company wireless laptop to surf the net while I'm on business trips. Can my employer see what I'm surfing if I don't log onto the company VPN or network?

Employer ISP definitely can track what sites you visit. My cousin found that one out the hard way.

I think you may not have answered his second question... if 'employees of ISP' can tell other people about what they saw. This is rather a question of legality, rather than technicality. Yes, tehnically it is possible, but legally..? I think ISP is responsible enough to prohibit it.

John,

Yes, they can, and do. Many people have lost their jobs because of their surfing habits at work.

Can my server (like the server that my employer uses for the network) find out what internet sites I visit?
Thanks
