If so, what can I do about this ?

How much do you know/understand about VPNs? Do you have a lot of experience, or do you have little or no experience with them? Have you done any reading about how a VPN works, and what you need to utilize a VPN?

Damnit , I ask the questions here
No seriously, I just know that a VPN creates a encrypted tunnel... -

If you have "use remote gateway" enabled, use your own DNS and are using an encrypted protocol then no they have no idea what you are visiting.

Can you elaborate a bit ?

If technical jargon sounds like greek to you I will give you a free program link to how you can hide surfing from your ISP. Keep in mind that hiding your surfing habits stretches much deeper than just using some proxy and/or encrypted protocol.

To answer your question however, yes it is possible for your ISP to know which websites were visited. Some evil-doers are aware of being between parties and use packet sniffers to try analyzing all kinds of information. An example of such a packet sniffer is WireShark ( http://www.wireshark.org/ ).
If you are ever curious to know how many servers your data jumps through you can use a program on Windows called tracert ( http://kb.iu.edu/data/aihy.html ). Anyone of those hop's could be an eavesdropper so just be cautious. I wish you the best of luck and happy surfing. -
