[LINK] https/metadata

A somewhat technical question.

If you use https, the contents of your interchange are encrypted.
However, the fact that you have gone to a particular IP address is still
in the clear.

So if you go to www.nastysite.com and use https, the metadata would
still show that you have had a session with that website.

Correct?

However, if you create a VPN first e.g. via tor, the fact that you have
visited www.nastysite.com (using http or https) would not be visible in
your metadata.

Correct?

Thanks.
