How could anyone find out which sites are you following using an RSS feed? And I mean in a broad way: can the site track you? Can ISP? Network managers?
Let’s say you want to follow a bunch of political sites that you don’t want to be easily attached to, is RSS a good way to do it? Are there extra precautions to take?
My first thought would be that it’s the same as using any other browser, so not a great way to be private. Am I wrong?
The RSS feed is still fetched from their server. Whoever can watch your internet traffic would still see the connection to the site.
So if you put your RSS feed application behind a vpn it would be more private?
Private to whom? You’ve just moved the observer from your ISP to your VPN provider and whomever is upstream from them.
What if I only add the feed via floppy
How did you get the feed in the first place?
Burner terminal from 1990
And you burn the PC after each use.
