unless you use a VPN everything goes through your ISP, but i belive that TOR has some kind of VPN requirement to use (i can be very wrong on that one).

but in general unless you're tunneling the data then they can see it.

Anything i've written between the * and * is not meant to be taken seriously.

keep in mind that helping with problems is hard if you aren't specific and detailed.

i'm also not a professional, (yet) so make sure to personally verify important information as i could be wrong.

Like @flashiling said "unless you use a VPN everything goes through your ISP" I don't know about on PC. But on android it will warn you if your ain't using a VPN, if I'm not mistaken it even comes 2 app bundle one just for VPN if I'm not mistaken

In general, your ISP can see every connection you make to somewhere. They can also see the data, unless it is encrypted.

  • If you use a VPN, your ISP can see that you're making a VPN connection to $VpnProvider, but they can't see the data you're sending there (the VPN provider can, however).
  • If you connect to a HTTPS site, your ISP can see that you're making a connection there (e.g. "linustechtips.com") but they can't see any other data except for the hostname. Everything else is encrypted.
  • If you use Tor, your ISP can see that you're using Tor. They can't see which sites you're connecting to etc. since that is, once again, encrypted.

For most purposes HTTPS should be good enough, because while your ISP can see that you're surfing on linustechtips (or wherever) they can't see anything else. And you're not sharing that data with yet another provider (e.g. a VPN provider), who may be selling the data just as much.
