Can everything I do online be monitored at my router? | Ask Leo

askleonew

A few days ago around the dinner table, my family was talking about how police can monitor everything that you do on the web and can track you. Because he is registered as the owner of the router, my father says that he can view everything that I do as it passes through the router. Is this true? And if so, how can I bypass this?

Yes, it’s true.

But before you focus on that too much, there are two things to keep in mind:

First, it’s not really that easy for the average consumer.

Second, there are easier alternatives to monitoring your router.

Let me explain what I mean and what you can do to protect yourself – if, indeed, you can protect yourself at all.
