A bit disturbed

  • retag add tags

Hello!

I'm a kinda amateur user of all those IT things, like wireshark and linux - just learning - and yesterday I've decided to make wireshark capture session of my laptop's wifi interface. I let it run for ~24 hours and now i'm having fun' analyzing this big data of about a 6 million packets.

And here is what disturbed me at once - I have my phone connected to the same wifi, but why I see it in my computer wifi's packets? It does ARPs and is in the 'endpoints' and 'ethernet' list. Is it normal?

Second my question would be about vpn. I have it on my laptop 'attached' to interface, not as a browser extension or anything - and want to figure out, does all the services what isn't browsing, accessing their servers via vpn? I mean can my ISP see what services my laptop is trafficking?

Thanks in advance :-)

  1. Yes this is normal
  2. Filter out all VPN tunnel traffic and see what remains. If there's non-local traffic in there, this is bypassing the VPN.

by filtering out vpn tunnel traffic you mean excluding vpn's ip in search?

That is what you can do.
