Yes, of course your router (that's routing your network traffic) sees the traffic it's routing - although these days almost everything is using https , so the router wouldn't be able to inspect the content.

However, the original question was about windows, and I don't know of any router that uses windows, so I'm not sure if that addresses your actual question.

I was just trying to point out how stupid the comment about vswitch is. Everything in your network path can watch, and some of that equipment has poor security compared to the windows vswitch

If your router is designed to snoop and enshitify as much as Windows, get a different router.

Yeah - consumer grade routers are so much safer than windows vswitch

Oh, I see. I didn't read the implied /s 😂
