Networking
Network Privacy
Protocols, addressing, routing, and transport used to move data between systems (TCP/IP, DNS, TLS, etc.).
Definition
Networking covers how traffic is addressed (IP), routed, and transported (TCP/UDP), and how sessions are protected (TLS). Privacy depends on what is encrypted, what metadata is logged, and what identifiers (like IP) are exposed.
In plain English
Protocols, addressing, routing, and transport used to move data between systems (TCP/IP, DNS, TLS, etc.).
Why this matters
Why it matters: Even if content is encrypted, metadata (DNS queries, IPs, timing) can reveal identity and behavior.
Example
Example: Use TLS, protect DNS (DoH/DoT), minimize IP logging, and reduce unnecessary metadata exposure.
