I had an engineer about my router to sort out my issue and he noticed that I gamed a lot during the past few days. (I rarely do but got a cool game so I did a bit lately). I just wonder how? Well I did download a game last night and last month. I am wondering, did he see just my download history (which is fine) or my internet history? I hope he didn’t as it’s just embarrassing :( I went on dating sites before I found a girlfriend and I’d rather him not see that also on top of that I brought my GF a sort of erotic lingerie. I’m so embarrassed. Is it possible for engineer to see what I search?

    I know this doesn’t answer your question, but… Friend… I don’t know how old you are but I believe this is a valuable lesson at any age.

    Take a deep breath, and relax. The stranger doesn’t give a shit about what you do or who you are. You will never meet them again, why would you be embarrassed about them learning something (admittedly pretty tame) about you?

    Prudence is both allowed and intelligent, don’t walk around the office telling people every detail of your sex life… but I PROMISE, no one gives a crap. There’s no reason to be this sensitive about people learning something about you.

    I can’t make any guesses, but you have no reason to feel this guilty about what you do with your time unless you are literally committing crimes. Just, try not to worry about it so much, it will probably make you feel heaps better, haha.

    Also, even if the Field Tech that came out to look at your shit can’t see it, your ISP can, and whomever you or your ISP use as a DNS server, or the VPN company you use.

      That’s so true. It’s just embarrassment really as it’s like giving privite life away to someone you don’t even know
