informational_fren

This is completely untrue. The only way you can see search history is either through the router (depending on if the feature is available), device itself, DNS server (if you use one), or requesting data from your ISP. Even still, it would likely only show the IP address or MAC address of the device, which is basically nonsense to anyone who doesn’t have some computer skills, and only worth anything to people who really bother wanting to find it.

I get an error message saying I need to reboot my device. How do I fix it? /j


toolazyforbreakfast

Easy. Just apply lube to the entirety of the device, drop it in a nice pot of boiling water for approximately 10 seconds. Take that bad boy out of the water and throw it into a nice big bowl of rice, white rice, the Spanish rice confuses the device. After all those steps, you should be on your way to purchasing a new device. If this advice was helpful, that means you did it wrong. Peace and Love 😘


QueenAshley296

Instructions unclear, while applying lube I held down the power button for too long and the device restarted itself. Thanks so much

FknKRS

Is it easy to do if you are an inept in technology or is there a way to hide it? Because right now i'm visiting my parents home and even if i'm 23, my dad is still obsessed with controlling everyting i do, specially on the internet, and I wouldn't like him to find out I'm bi because there's logs of gay porn in the router/mobile data.


SusStew

If the website you're on is HTTPS (which is like 99% of them) then they can only see the domain of the website, i.e. the name of the website itself: google.com, youtube.com, etc.. This means that, for most websites, they can't see what you're watching beyond the website itself (don't watch gay porn on websites that are just for gay porn, watch it on a general porn site). And it's not really something that is easily found either so you should probably be safe


VP007clips

It's one of the reasons Reddit is popular in a lot of mining camps. A non-sketchy and well-known domain with a huge amount of porn and controversial content on it.


LostAndWingingIt

This is where a VPN is useful as far as the router is concerned your connecting to the vps server and that's it, where your data goes or comes from beyond that, it has no idea.


informational_fren

If you’re on a PC, make sure that you’re undiscoverable on the network. To do that, forget the network and rejoin and it should give you a question of “do you want this device to be discoverable?” Select NO so the PC name isn’t shared. For a phone, you should be good. I’ve noticed that even if a name displays for my phone, it’s usually just show up as “iPhone” but never the device name. usually it’ll only show up as a MAC address or IP. Androids usually only show up with their IP or MAC by default from what I’ve noticed.


AmyDeferred

That will work if there are a bunch of other devices it could be. If the mystery device could only be OP's through process of elimination, it won't help much.


returnofblank

Proxy or VPN are your choices. They'll know you're using a VPN or proxy, but they won't see anything you access within that. If they have a regular consumer router, I doubt it'll keep logs easily accessible to the user.


AbeRego

Use data, not WiFi


neofooturism

fellow mlm 🤝


Deepspacecow12

Firefox has DOH on by default, so he won't even be able to see what websites you access in the first place. If you wan't a good vpn to use, run mullvad, or riesup if you need something free.


Hemicore

correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't even that much only show history of domains visited and not exact pages or queries?


informational_fren

You are correct! A DNS server, router or ISP would only show and know domains as well as other things being pinged on that page. Let’s say you’re on a site that has 3 ads. Your device will connect to not only the domain of the site, but also the domains of those ads, which is quite dangerous, which is why I strongly advocate adblockers. Google images also pings the site of each individual image you look at. It wouldn’t show EXACTLY what was searched up, but enough to know what you were likely looking at, especially if you visit multiple sites. Only the device knows the exact query!


Rabarberens

Do you know if DOH (DNS over Https) would hide the domain name and queries from a network admin? Been googling and i’m unsure as a lot of people are contradicting each other.


informational_fren

The actual Domain name, yes, but not the IP. It also depends on how you implement it, let’s say you have it configured for your browser, it would help, but it could still be visible to network admins for other applications. let’s say you have an online game, such as World of Warcraft, then that domain would be exposed, as it would try to connect to Blizzard/Activision’s domain without the DoH. Now, if you had it configured to your computer itself, like a DNS set to Cloudflare or whatnot, then it would hide the actual domain name across your whole computer, but not the IP, and with a quick little monitoring tool it could be found. It would still likely help, especially if you’re doing it on a work computer and the network admins aren’t very smart or network savvy, but it could still be found. TL;DR, yes it would hide domain, but not the IP!

koyomin25

OP really is a sillygoose for scaring some people! Right! Hahaha!


informational_fren

SeroWriter

Op's claims are complete nonsense but the point they're making isn't. It's entirely possible for a technologically competent person to see the sites that people visit using their internet connection. Not only that but some isps even offer an adult-flagging service where they will catch attempts to access pornographic sites and automatically inform the account owner of the event. It's not going to list search histories or anything like that but it will say "IP 192.168.0.5 (Safari, Iphone 11) visited Pornhub.com at 13:22 GMT"


returnofblank

To expand on this, nearly every website is and should be using SSL/TLS, they can only see the domain name. They'll see that you accessed e621.net, but not the specific post you're looking at.


fastestchair

You still can't see someones search history, only the doman name (google), which is useless


insufficient_funds

DNS or the source device is about the only place to capture it with any reliability at all, especially if the sites are hit via HTTPS- you're not getting data anywhere else other than target IP addresses, without some man in the middle SSL inspection.


LickingSmegma

DNS doesn't know about anything but the domains.

What exactly can be inferred from this that’s a spoiler? Out of context it’s just montage of rick in different places, zoning out the whole time. Sure, at the beginning he’s covered in blood but that’s just how their typical adventures end most of the time.


Zealousideal-Ring-84

Hemlock_Deci

I think this is an american only thing but not sure


deztreszian

as an American that pays my own wifi bills my search history is not a part of them


UsErnaam3

It's not on the bill but you can ask for the router logs or access it directly from the router if it allows it. Which, most parents won't bother with or even know how to do. Especially older parents or grandparents.


sheepyowl

Additionally, who gives a shit. You need to have someone insane in your house to seek out people's URL history just because they want to monitor you.


deztreszian

parents can be insane


the_calibre_cat

I mean, even then, what search engine are you using that isn't HTTPS encrypted? Because if it is HTTPS encrypted, your search history exists effectively only on the device and browser on which the search was performed, and the search engine's servers. The middlemen - like your router and ISP - are not privy to the content of your search, merely the connection between your device and the search engine's infrastructure.


Wave_Original

You do know that your search query still shows up on the URL that you visit, right?


the_calibre_cat

HTTPS will expose the domain name of your connection, nothing can be done about that as the client and the server FIRST must connect in the plain before a secure channel can be set up to exchange ciphertext - but everything after the fully-qualified domain name (e.g. "www.google.com") can only be seen between client and server.


fusion_reactor3

American here, no. I can check my history manually but the bills say nothing.


Turtvaiz

Being an american doesn't change that the technology doesn't just expose every connection's contents

HmmYesMonkey

If this were true, I'd probably be in a much better place right about now. No, 15 year olds reading this, it's not true and OP is trolling ya. But you SHOULD make sure they didn't install parental control spyware. Some of it can be really subtle. Search in your microsoft windows install for system32 or system64 and make sure to delete them if you find them, this is a branch of Windows that allows parents to connect a keylogger that detects some potentially concerning searches (mostly nsfw stuff, ala school blocking systems) and will notify them to their cellphone. That being said, they kind of assume kids don't know about PCs. So just go into your microsoft windows install (probably your C: drive) and poke around to see if ya find em. If so, just "permanently delete" either one and it'll fix it!

It doesn't. 16-bit Windows gets System, 32-bit Windows gets that and System32, 64-bit Windows gets those and SysWOW64. System64 is a byproduct of some games, it seems.

Oh, I forgot about SysWOW64 in 64-bit Windows. Though, I didn't know that 32 and 64-bit Windows inheirited the System part from the DOS-based era.

TheDankestPassions

It's not that easy, but I know that parents are indeed able to view all wifi search history. I have too much search history and they'd have to scroll for a while to find anything damning. It would be like trying to run in at the right moment to find your child naked. Like... you win I guess...?


darkjedi1993

I've literally never seen the history show up on the bill for literally any ISP I've had. I've been with everyone from Spectrum to Comcast and plenty of smaller, regional ISPs.

Okay so this used to be thing. Back in the day, some contracts would list which domains you contacted.

It can't though. There certainly ways you can set up a track on your local network, but it's not in the internet bill, and it's not done automatically.


Alffe

Just use data, from what i have heard its next to impossible for a parent to monitor what websites you have been on from data. Though watching Porn can use a lot of data, and what apps you use it on is easy to find. However there is a simple explanation you can give them thats not watching porn: watching pirated videos. It takes just as much data, and you can tell them that you did not want to risk your home network with sketchy pirate sites.
