Your ISP can see your VPN connection because they recognize an unfamiliar IP address. However, they cannot see anything specific about your online activity, like your search and download history or the websites you visit.

Can my ISP see my incognito mode?
Incognito or private mode will keep your local browsing private, but it won't stop your ISP, school, or employer from seeing where you've been online. In fact, your ISP has access to all your browsing activity pretty much no matter what you do. You can, however, use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) service.
Can my ISP see what Im doing?
Internet Service Providers (ISPs) can see everything you do online. They can track things like which websites you visit, how long you spend on them, the content you watch, the device you're using, and your geographic location.
How can I hide my activity from my ISP?
Use a Virtual Private Network (VPN)
A VPN is one of the best tools to help you hide your internet activity. It's designed to encrypt data traffic over a network and hide your IP address, thus preventing anyone else from accessing your information—including your internet provider.
Can ISP track Tor usage?
Your Internet service provider (ISP) and local network can see that you connect to the Tor network. They still cannot know what sites you visit. To hide that you connect to Tor, you can use a Tor bridge.
Will my ISP tell my parents?
As with requesting an ISP for your browsing history, most ISPs will not give out this information, but it doesn't hurt to ask. If parents are concerned about their child's browsing history, they could opt to view browsing history on the web browsers on their devices.
Can ISP see VPN?
Can my ISP see my VPN? While using a VPN, your ISP cannot decipher the contents of your internet traffic nor can it figure out where your traffic is traveling to or from. That means your ISP cannot see what sites you visit or anything you do while connected. It can only see that encrypted data is traveling to a server.
How do I stop ISP tracking without VPN?
Use a Tor network
On top of this, Tor will only protect your information and block your ISP from tracking your activity while you're using the browser, and not while you're using other apps. Still, Tor is a popular choice with many as it's easy to install and use.
Can ISP see encrypted traffic?
When a web site does use HTTPS, an ISP cannot see URLs and content in unencrypted form. However, ISPs can still almost always see the domain names that their subscribers visit.
Can my ISP see my Google searches?
Internet service providers (ISPs) can see more of what you do online than almost anyone. They can track your browsing history easily, and, in some cases, they can share that data with third parties. Your data has become incredibly precious, surpassing even the value of oil.
How does ISP know what I'm downloading?
Sometimes the ISP can also tell if you're downloading files by looking at the connection patterns: since some download files rely on multiple people sharing it, the ISP can notice the multiple upload streams as well multiple connections to different IP (Internet Protocol) addresses that make it work.
Does VPN stop ISP seeing activity?
VPNs encrypt all internet traffic, effectively hiding your browsing history from your ISP. However, that doesn't mean the ISP is blind to your activities. They may be able to tell that you're connected to a VPN and for how long, based on the fact that the encrypted traffic is headed to an IP address of a VPN server.
Does government track ISP?
Government agencies can track you
This means that any information your ISP might have on you, government agencies, including the police, can gain access to as well.
Do ISP report you?
Despite no US laws requiring ISPs to retain customer data, US ISPs are still legally required to provide information to police departments and government agencies if issued a subpoena (and because your data can be sold to advertisers, we can assume they keep some.)
Who can look at my ISP?
What's more, the data your ISP collects may be accessed by outside organizations, such as the police department or another government agency. If provided with a subpoena, your ISP is legally required to provide whatever information they have on you.
