It's easy for anyone who can do traffic analysis on your traffic, eg your ISP and mass surveillance perpetrators.
And whoever your ISP decides to sell or give this data to.
- rapind 9y agoWell your traffic is encrypted (assuming OpenVPN), so all your ISP should be able to see is the amount of data to and from your VPN.
- zurn 9y agoThey can of course see the individual packets and their exact timings. This can be trivially correlated with egress traffic from your VPN gateway to other ISP affiliated networks or web properties. And since it's your private gateway, there is no other traffic mixed in. Traffic analysis is a term of art in cryptanalysis and SIGINT, in case you were not familiar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_analysis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_analysis
