    Yes its a good thing the result is what it is, but you watch, theyll try to use it as justification. And as a small(ish) fyi, try running a tracert on whatever site youre looking at. Unless you are directly connected to that site, there are likely multiple hops -domains- that your connection passes through to get from your machine to the target. Each one of those has the potential to read what youre doing and reporting on it.

      Well not exactly. They might be reading the metadata of your lower level packages.

      Unless you’re not using encryption, then wth are you even doing?

        You forget the nsa, interpol. I remember back in the 90s there was a blurb about hackers sniffing packets and using that data to hack those systems. Gotta remember back then everyone had more open ports than shanghai

          I mean yeah, maybe? Are you one of the people that believes aes or ecc has a backdoor? I think we’d know by now, and I’m certain they don’t have the compute to break aes256.

            Keep believing that. Just because all those ports are closed to you and me is no guaratee that theyre not being keyed for them

              Yeah sure. There is no perfect security, but your paranoia is not only impractical but conspiratory.
