Identifying Monitoring Activities on Windows 10 Laptops: Wired & WiFi TP-LINK TL-WR740N Router

Question

Is there any way to check if my activity on computers at work is being monitored by someone?

I have two laptops with Windows 10, one is connected by a cable, the other via WIFI with a TP-LINK TL-WR740N router.

The administrator from the logs can monitor every activity of each computer.

Thank you for the quick reply. It just so happens that I must be the administrator and learn all this because it's a small company, two people, two computers, we don't have IT.

I have looked through the entire router manual and still do not know where I can find such information.

At this link is the user manual for my router:

Could I ask for help and any tips on how to monitor activity on my computers?

You won't check anything with OFW on this router. And the password for the router panel is best for you only to know.

rotell · Answer

Do you know any software that could check it?

makosuu · Answer

For computer, router?

rotell · Answer

Anything that lets me know if an unauthorized person is interested in my computers too much.

@rotell Only what you learn is what you send, download - but you will not know what your ISP does by collecting your data, what it collects, what it stores, etc. To know this you would have to query operator servers collecting such data. You also omit the issue of outside attacks.

I accepted that there are no secrets for ISPs I am more curious if any talented IT specialists from the office building in which I work do not test their talents on my computers by extracting information that is not intended for them.

KOCUREK1970 · Answer

If you don't know what they can do and you don't know what they are doing / they did - you won't interpret the data so well. What's more, if you have such sensitive data, it should be strictly encrypted access to it and accessible only to a specific group of people.

Hi, I don't know much about it, but today I found such an article Will you not really rummage at what we are browsing using this ISP?

KOCUREK1970 · Answer

This DNS has nothing to do with your operator.
As if the signal did not go anyway "passes" through your ISP.

The only reasonably effective method is a VPN somewhere in the UAE or where our country, Europe, USA cannot get data from these places - your ISP will know that you are referring to the server in the UAE but will no longer know exactly what you are doing.
