Is it possible to log someone's browsing history if using wifi?

Ie Dh uses laptop, I use iPad/phone on secure home wifi.

Is there anyway he can see what sites I have been on without having acces to my iPad?

www.ehow.com/how_6864527_remote-search-browser-history.html may be of interest. If I was worried about anybody looking at my browsing history I would download browzar and run it at every session rather than install.

I always have private browsing, and delete history after use on iPad, was just wondering whether there was some other way that someone could sneaky beaky.

Interesting reading...

Don't worry - what's described in the ehow link is completely irrelevant in your case. It's describing Microsoft Remote Desktop - i.e. not applicable to your ipad, obviously! And even if you were using a Windows PC, the computer that's being accessed is "locked" while a remote desktop session is in progress and there's no way you wouldn't notice that smile

Saying that, I know bugger all about Apple devices so I have no idea whether what you're concerned about is possible on an iPad...just reassuring you that the previous link is not an issue.
