Is my internet being monitored after gun/silencer search?

[mobile1]

So past couple weeks I have been restarting an old hobby of mine ..guns... So i looked up every topic about what gun to get etc also silencers (I like not having to wear much ear protection)..noticed they are super expensive then read about home made ones to see if they are cheaper..all the way to eBay which sells em from china. After that I looked up what I need to do legally then realized they are not even allowed in this state.. so stopped reading about it and moved on.

However since then I noticed that my internet speed is suddenly super slow, things don't load fast anymore especially when I am on https gun sites or gun related forums.

So then I turned on my VPN (basically program I need for work but which heavily encrypts all web traffic which technically should slow things a little bit down) and guess what, all the gun sites suddenly load super fast. Internet is as snappy again as it ever was. That is through the same connection.

What I want to know is how do I get off that internet slow down list? I don't feel like having to run everything via VPN moving forward just to have a somewhat decent internet.

Am I just paranoid or is it a coincidence or has anyone experiences the same?

do you really think the NSA software slows your pc and phone


You need some tin foil if you really thing the FBI, NSA and others slow your PC

The internet is a giant surveillance list.

Oh absolutely they are on to you now. In fact I will be deleting this as we've spoken and now they are on to me. Thanks!

The really cool part will start when the brownshirts go to the wrong Roger Stone house and get capped on live TV. Then the game will be on. Think of internet monitoring as a tool. Use it. Love it. Hate the human pinheads who think it's their power.

Or simply go about your daily business. Plenty of choices in life.

Well there is that dude that googled pressure cookers after the boston marathon and the Feds paid his family a visit. However supposedly it was because they were googling that stuff at their work and got reported because they just got fired.

Check your vehicle to see if there s a GPS tracker installed. Especially if you own a Jeep.

Yes. You made the list pal.

Thx... well I am not really a tinfoil type of guy.. besides I think some monitoring is ok.. there's just too many ****ed up people out there and law enforcement needs to have a way to spot things early.

That being said my work in the past has given me some insights into these agencies and there IS a lot more monitoring going on than people realize - it just is that way. What I wrote is not unreasonable to think - and no that's not a conspiracy theory but based on past experiences around my work.

Anyway but probably the ad tracking stuff that's disabled via vpn maybe is causing the speedup/slowdown...

...have to say though as a newbie in this forum I am a bit surprised how hostile some responses here have been... not sure it's worth to stick around if that's how things are here... constant ridicule... I guess time to check out some other places...

they could log what your doing w/o a speed change. So; no.

Sounds like you need a safe room.

Good luck.
