I just moved into a new place, and my landlord lives above me. They let me use their wireless internet, I'm just wondering, how easily could they see what I am doing online? I mean.. could they quite possibly be reading this post, right now??

I'm sure it's possible, but i sort of doubt they would bother if it is not easily and readily accesible information.

so, is it?

yeah they could be watching you very easily, if they knew how to do it.

wish i could help, but im not exactly sure. i just know its possible for someone to monitor you easily if they own the router.

using a proxy server might help. someone else here must know.

> is there anything i can do?

Yes. Use SSL to encrypt your network traffic. Supporter accounts here get access to SSL, for example. You can also use something like tor (free). http://www.torproject.org

(Note: tor can be very slow at times, but if you value privacy, you typically have to give up something in return...)
