One solution is to use a VPN (virtual private network) service and I really recommend you trying NordVPN one of the best services out there. What Nord essentially does is tunnel your connection through dedicated high bandwidth servers providing additional encryption layers of encryption. We talked about tunneling in this channel. There is a link for NordVPN in the description check them out! you will get a discount and you will be supporting me as well. Thanks! Tools Some of the tools that allows you to sniff traffic is Wireshark used heavily by network engineers. It shows you all kind of traffic. Stay Awesome! Hussein
