Can a company track what internet site I am visiting if I am on their VPN?

What if I am not connected to the VPN? Can they still track, if it is a company computer?|||Hi John,





Without know more details about your company's network configuration, the short answer is, yes. If you are connected to the company's network through a VPN, it is possible that you are using their gateways for your internet traffic in which case it is possible that that traffic is being logged and tracked. That being said, there are a number of 'buts', if the VPN is configured to not tunnel HTTP/HTTPS traffic then the answer would be no. If the VPN is configured to not be the default gateway, then again the answer would be no.





If you're not connected to the VPN, the ability to track internet traffic is hindered. There are, however, a large number of software applications available on the market that offer remote traffic logging. These packages can "call home" to report back to a central logging system.

While off VPN your Internet traffic is logged by you browser and ISP.|||YES, they can. they log everything that happen in the network.





but they cant do much about it if you dont open any "strange" website.|||Of course they can. If you are using their network in any way, an administrator has the resources to log your activity though their router(s).|||only if they have installed a keylogger but you will not know that because it will be hidden from you.
