Can Everything I Do Online Be Monitored at the Router?

⏰ While it's not typically easy, your internet traffic can be monitored at or near your router. I'll look at how this might be done.

⏰ Monitoring at the router
Your ISP has the technology to see all traffic on your connection.
Monitoring traffic at home is conceptually easy but technically difficult.
Encryption is your best defense against monitoring.
Physical access allows for easier monitoring.
The police have access, but generally only with appropriate cause and documentation.
