Assuming my ISP were interested in my connection for... reasons.

I'd assume a network attached to a VPN tunnel, while having encrypted data would still show an increase in packets from a certain source at certain times if an ISP stuck a wireshark/other packet sniffer on it?

Promise it's more a "I work for an ISP and tempted with some shenanigans" than a "terrorist mastermind" thing.

Essentially a thought exercise around masking my geo location when working from home (route all traffic from a specific machine to my home network with a VPN, thus using the home networks gateway as my public IP source). Curious what "signs" there would be/IP forensics that could be done.
