[QUOTE="Arequire, post: 877299, member: 59283"] If you visit an unencrypted site, your ISP can see the full URL and the content of each webpage. If you visit an encrypted site, your ISP can see the domain you're visiting but not the specific webpage or its content. If a VPN is connected, they'll see the IP address of the VPN server. If you're only connected to Freedome without Windscribe, F-Secure can see everything your ISP could see before connecting to Freedome, as stated above. If connected to Windscribe as well, F-Secure will see the IP address of Windscribe's VPN server. As it's an extension, this only applies to the browser(s) you have the extension installed in. All traffic outside the browser will be handled the same as being connected to Freedome by itself. They'll know everything your ISP knew before you connected to a VPN. I wouldn't waste your time double hopping with multiple VPNs. It increases latency, slows connection speed and only protects against attacks that are usually reserved for targeted surveillance.
