You think that I want to do this to download torrents, right?
Well no. I didnt sleep one night to watch WM29 stream and they called my dad and told him that if I will ever spend more than 3h daily on the internet they will block it until I will be 18.

I do not understand your question. Hence why I asked that I do not understand and that you need to explain so that I can understand. Unless you have been pirating something, your ISP has no reason to get you, if this is what you are implying.

I have pirated things but they told my dad that I watched pornography videos on YouTube,they didnt told him anything about torrents/piracy.
If their problem was with torrents then I would stop pirating software.

I don't know but talking about stopping your ISP monitoring potentially illegal activity (piracy) is against the forum rules, if that is what you are implying.

Porn on youtube, LOL! Good one.

Your ISP will see encrypted VPN traffic. That's about it. If they want to dig deeper, they'd be aiding the police or some other institution that would have a reason (and a warrant) to decrypt it and view the traffic.

This seems a classic case of asking a question but will only accept one answer.

When that answer is not forthcoming, the question will be asked in a variety of ways to see if the acceptable answer can be found.

It will connect wireless. But it wont change how the ISP can access it. Whether your connected wireless or wired, you are still connected to your modem which the ISP has full access to.

ISPs generally do not give a rats ass about what your doing on the internet unless you start consuming alot of bandwidth and data. And by alot, I mean probably over 500gb a month. Its at that point the ISP will question if you are doing something illegal, or if you are using it for a business. At which point you will receive a phone call most likely after they have already gone over where you have been on the internet and what data has been transmitted.

The only way to answer your question, which Im sure a few people have already said, there is NO way to hide from your ISP. They are called an internet service provider for a reason. Everything you access goes through them FIRST. Those programs and sites that hide your IP and such are designed to hide you from websites, not your ISP. Its near impossible to hide from your ISP. As soon as you are connected to the modem, they can see your device no matter what.

EDIT: Oh, and by the way you just admitted to committing a federal offense (at least in the USA it is) so I would stop while your ahead.
