Privacy Concerns {newbie talk}

hey there,
Lets say I end up watching "Unauthorized Content" as it's called out there either local or online, can others listen (snoop) behind the router while I'm using DNLA with basic Serviio or am I safe...?

Hopefully I won't get slammed too too hard with this question... 8-)

Re: Privacy Concerns {newbie talk}

You are as safe as your router is or your internet connection in case you are looking at online content.

Facts:
- Router WIFI can be cracked. WEP is easier than WPA/WPA2. WPA can be cracked over time (probably a long time).
- Your ISP can monitor your internet usage. Will they do anything about it? Maybe. Look at 6 point warning system that went live recently in USA.
- Serviio runs locally on local network unless you have online sources enabled or make serviio web server available online.

Secure your router, encrypt your traffic, don't do anything illegal.
