Is it possible to mark the encrypted data-packages that leave your house?
Basically, this:
Data is encrypted on my computer but the router is a standard one from my ISP, running their software. Could they prefix my encrypted packets or send some kind of mark in between?
Computer encrypts my data. Router is running some OSS. Can this little box between house network and street prefix my packets or when my line connects to the street?
- lulzury 3y agoIt really depends on what you mean by prefix. Most likely your router is running a NAT, and doing this: > As traffic passes from the network to the Internet, the router translates the source address in each packet from a private address to the router's own public address. The router tracks basic data about each active connection (particularly the destination address and port). When the router receives inbound traffic from the Internet, it uses the connection tracking data it stored during the outbound phase to determine to which private address (if any) it should forward the reply.

- nufonewhodis 3y agoeven over TOR/ VPN? thank you btw, I'm reading up on NAT, NAT over TOR and so on as I type this.
- dave4420 3y agoTCP packets will have your IP address anyway. Why add more tagging on top of that?
