ok first of all my apology if i am posting this in the wrong place. this question is mainly for the usa users. as you know now the trump administration and congress/FCC has put net neutrality back in the dark ages back before obama changed it. what this means is that any ISP has the right to sell your data to third party vendors allowing them to track you where ever you go or whatever you buy. THIS IS BS FOLKS!!!!!!! no matter how good my ISP google fiber is they will not get my data!!!!! i am either setting up a seed box or a vpn. but i need some more advice on what to do..

I know ISPs can track you even through a VPN a seedbox however as far as I'm aware is just a kind of storage / file server.

Interesting Neil. Please can you tell me how you know that ISPs can still track you when using a VPN Well it all depends how deep you go, by default a paid for VPN should be encrypted end to end in terms of the data being viewed however an ISP can see what node you're starting from and the various hops to the end point, but given authority an ISP can fingerprint your connection and 'work out' what kind of information you're viewing. A free VPN however is not always encrypted properly (the same can be said for some paid VPNs but that would take a fair bit of research) and therefor is viewable to an ISP it all comes down to what level of encryption is being used and at what stage. In a similar way that any IoT device can be used to know what you're doing / saying etc via a GPS, Microphone, Camera device, basically anything that involves electricity can be used as a kind of spying device of sorts to find some piece of info about you. Did you know the guy who wrote that big trend game called PokemonGo (for phones) was actually financed by the CIA and received the CIAs Gold award for his work (he's also done other projects before that which has helped with the whole spying / intrusion thing).

I firmly believe that the ISP you are using will track changes as Neil suggested above. It's the node that you start from and that can be or will be tracked and can be extrapolated quite easily, you connect to the internet via you ISP, that connection is recorded, any change is thus recorded including redirects, not rocket science really.
