I was trying to figure out if someone was snooping in on my connection |
| 38 |
or something. I got a new ISP and I sort of think it is something their |
| 39 |
network does. Since I do my banking and credit card on this thing, I |
| 40 |
was just wanting to make sure I was safe to do that. I know they are |
| 41 |
encrypted but still want to make sure. |
