Does a proxy hide activity from your ISP?
I'm not the most computer savvy person out there, but I know a decent amount. Does using a proxy hide your browsing activity from your ISP?
From this,
"The browser makes a TCP packet with an HTTP GET www.google.com request (with sender address as your IP address) and sends it to the proxy server.
The proxy application running on the server looks the packet and sees that it is addressed to google. It forwards the packet to google.com, changing the sender address in the TCP packet to its own. Google gets this packet from the proxy and sends the contents of its website in another packet (well actually a series of packets) to the proxy. The proxy accepts this packet and forwards it back to you. "
Does your service provider still see all of the sites you view and download things from?

yoru isp can see averything you send to the proxy, and everything the proxy sends back to you.
you want better than only a classic VPN although that is conceivable. in case you wanna be as nameless because it receives then use an operating device talked about as Tails, It would not conceal the very indisputable reality that you're employing it, yet they can not see WHAT you're doing in it. in simple terms that you're in it. No particular, because the anonymity presented by tails, or better specifically Tor is that it makes ALL its shoppers look like they could be an analogous man or woman. that is a linux distro so its loose, or you're able to circulate the not effortless way and make your residing house windows setting up use Tor yet i don't think of thats the perfect theory... as Tor can get slow often times.
