Can ISP see domain?

When a web site does use HTTPS, an ISP cannot see URLs and content in unencrypted form. However, ISPs can still almost always see the domain names that their subscribers visit. DNS queries are almost never encrypted.

Can my ISP see what sites I visit if I change DNS?

Yes, your ISP can see what websites you are visiting. They can do this whether the sites are using HTTPS or not. They can do this whether you use their DNS servers or not. And they can link these to a specific account.

Does DuckDuckGo protect from ISP?

While Tor and DuckDuckGo will hide your search history and IP address from websites, it still can’t completely protect you from your internet Service Provider (ISP). For total security, you’ll need to invest in a VPN.

Can ISP see encrypted?

If a website is using an encrypted connection (i.e., HTTPS, like https://duckduckgo.com/): ISPs cannot see which specific pages within that website you visit (everything after the ‘/’). ISPs can still see the domain of the website you are visiting (everything up to the ‘/’).

Can my ISP see what websites I visit with DNS?

When using DNS over HTTPS (DoH) or DNS over TLS (DoT) the ISP will no longer be able to intercept these DNS requests though, nor will it be able to see the content of the DNS queries. It can still determine the domains you visit from DPI on the web traffic itself though in most cases.

Why can’t my ISP see what websites I’m trying to download?

Additionally, since Tor encrypts your traffic your ISP can’t see your HTTP requests, so they can’t see what websites you’re trying to download. There’s also the issue of stuff like DNS. If you try to resolve a URL using DNS in the clear (without using Tor) then that reveals what websites you intend to visit.

Can ISPs see what you’re reading on https?

Even with HTTPS, ISPs can still see the domains that their subscribers visit. When a site does use HTTPS, the Upturn team explained that an “ISP cannot see the URLs and content in unencrypted form,” but it can see and monitor requests made to the Domain Name System (DNS).

Can my ISP see what domains I query without redirecting?

Enforcing the use of the ISP’s DNS server is usually done if the ISP is ordered to block access to specific domains. But even without redirecting the ISP might be able to see what domains you query: DNS queries are by default not encrypted and thus visible to Deep Packet Inspection.
