What can System Admins see from RSS feeds and how do RSS feeds affect internet traffic?
anything that goes through the proxy will be visible. question you want to ask youself is "will they bother looking?" if this is a workplace there is going to be so much traffic that it will be hard to find. you run a bigger risk of your RSS aggregator bumping up against the proxy with a wrong password (this assumes a windows domain where the network password also gets you access to the internet and the password has to change every 90 days)...when you change your network password, failed authentication will come from the RSS aggregator and the network team will find out.
RSS feeds impact bandwidth because you will be using work bandwidth for personal reasons. bandwidth is a commoditity and engineering teams decide how much bandwidth is necessary based on work requirements rather than personal use requirements.
system admins can see what urls you vsited. if they check they can see whatever you have surfed. but they have so much of data that the rarely bother to check each and everyone's history.
