Does DuckDuckGo Hide Your Data From Your ISP? Need Clarification! or Can DuckDuckGo Actually Hide You

does duckduckgo hide your data from your isp? Short answer: No, not completely.

Long answer: They encrypt your searches (so your ISP can’t read them), but they still see you’re using DuckDuckGo. If you want full anonymity, pair DDG with a VPN.

I use NordVPN + DDG and it works great.
