Sigh... Another unanswered post. The privacy/security gurus must be on vacation.

If connection to Web sites through proxy is not encrypted SSL (https) ISP can sniff (eavesdrop) on your traffic, reconstruct visited Web pages, capture cleartext passwords, etc..

If one uses proxy that encrypts all traffic, e.g. safeweb [url]https://www.safeweb.com/[/url] ISP can "see" only proxy IP.
