Because your ISP gives you the WAN IP address for your modem for you to connect to the internet, whenever your modem connects to your ISP, your ISP supplies all the necessary setting to your modem to connect to their DNS servers. Therefore, no matter what the traffic is ( downloading illegal or copyrighted files) at their leisure or discretion they can monitor your traffic for any reason at any time. And as such if they think that you are breaking the law or breaking their internet usage policy, they can report you to the proper authority or ban you from ever using their internet. Simple as that.

However, from what I have read and heard from people all over the internet and friends, ISPs don’t really care for your traffic (illegal or not). What ISP really care and heavily monitor is your emails that you sent and receive. In fact, one of the employee from Verizon told me that. You encrypt your email, you will soon or later hear a knock on your door by the federal government. What these recent lawsuit and legal battle involving downloading bit-torrent is mainly copyrighted files or materials like music files or tv shows. ISPs won’t squeal or report on you even if they find out about your illegal activities on the internet. All they want is your monthly payment. If all ISPs started to monitor every one of their customers, they will find out that over 50% of their customers has to be report to the police for illegal activities. That would goes against their business model which is to get new customers and keep them as long as you can. If they get their customers in trouble with a law, there goes their revenue and monthly payment. LOL.

Though, you are not anonymized. Someone who is using another torrent downloader still can see you and report you to TELUS.

Can anyone tell me if Ares Ultra has this functionality to force header encryption? I have been into the control panel for Ares Ultra and do not see a way to do it.
