software to prevent ISP spying???
 
Is there software available to prevent your ISP from monitoring internet activity?? Like something that continuously makes other small connections or does something else to make spying difficult or prevent it altogether???

Its your ISP. If they want to inspect your traffic, they can. Nothing you can do can prevent it. An SSL connection is still sending the traffic down their pipe. If they want to save it and decrypt it later, they can.

You'd have to use a VPN to get the traffic past them, basically.

VPN is an SSL connection, basically.

If they want to grab your data at anytime, they can. Its like saying you will never get caught stealing cable. Duh, the signal is terminating somewhere and they can trace it.

But it's much less likely that they'd ever bother saving and decrypting traffic to a random server on a VPN than to POKERSITE.com.
