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?

      Netstat shows locally established/awaiting connections to the LAN and WAN. Traceroute is a completely different utility that shows a path traffic takes to get out to a specific address. You are wrong.

      The one thing that almost makes sense in your incoherent comment is that the gateway device (typically an isp supplied modem/router) identified from a tracert command is that which an engineer could potentially observe internal clients’ traffic on.
