ISP Monitoring: what your ISP sees
A no-logs claim is only as good as what's actually running behind it. IGuard is built on infrastructure designed to have nothing to log in the first place - not just a policy promising it won't look.
Your ISP sees more than you think
Even without reading page content, an ISP can see every domain you connect to, when, and for how long - enough to build a detailed picture of your habits without ever touching your traffic's contents.
Encryption hides content, not destination
HTTPS protects what you send, but the ISP still sees where it's going. DNS queries, unless encrypted separately, leak the exact sites you visit before a single packet of content is exchanged.
Some ISPs sell what they collect
In markets without strict data protection law, browsing metadata can be packaged and sold to advertisers or data brokers. Retention policies vary widely - and are rarely made easy to find.
A VPN moves the trust, it doesn't remove it
Routing through a VPN stops your ISP from seeing destinations - but now the VPN provider is in that position instead. Whether that's an improvement depends entirely on what the provider actually logs.
Your checklist before you trust your connection
- Are your DNS queries encrypted, or visible in plaintext?
- Does your ISP publish a data retention policy?
- Is your VPN provider's no-logs claim independently audited?
- Does your provider's jurisdiction protect that policy legally?
