A question about VPN
Good morning,
I have one question.Usually,VPN service provider would written in the TOS,like DON'T DOWNLOAD ILLEGAL MP3 FILES..etc.
But how to they know if i downloaded a illegal MP3 file?Because i use encrypted VPN.
Maybe they could find the connect log and bet it's me to downloaded this illegal MP3 file?
Thank you.

This encryption is of the connection between your device and the server, however, data must be decrpted on the vpn server. If you're downloading through unencrpted protocol like http, thoerically they can find you.
Just read the header of the packages.
I don't think your provider actually read your log. They just don't want to get DCMA complain when you use one of those P2P software to download illegal stuff.
For example.
If one of our customers download illegal files and our datacenter receives a DCMA complaint, they foward it to us. Subsequently, we validate with the customer what happens.
The only monitoring that is done is DDOS attacks or NTP for example. Apart from it, we trust the customer.
Hope it's help you
