They could have prevented this by wearing hazmat suits to avoid being ionized in the first place.

Ah I see. When I run adguard on a mac and enable system wide protection, I think it registers itself as a trusted certificate authority and works similar to the “man-in-the-middle” component that you mentioned. This is just my assumption based on the fact that on https websites, if I click the padlock, the certificate info says “Adguard CA”. It also has an explicit option for a deep packet analysis which explicitly states that it can provide better protection by inspecting https traffic so I am guessing that in theory it’s possible.

if the company had installed something that uses similar technology as a pihole, wouldn’t they technically be able to see everything even if you use https?
