Can this type of VPN be sniffed by a OpenVpn provider?

Netsurfer

Hi guys,
just a confirmation please.

Let's consider I am in my home and set up a VPN between me and my router.

Then, just to be sure about the configuration, go behind my computer and connect to an OpenVpn provider by using the first computer from a second one.

I mean: if I share my first VPN with a second computer and from that connect to a OpenVpn server, does that server see my connections without encryption?

I'm not talking about SSL, SFTP and so on of course.

Thanks!

Well my idea is that the provider can see the traffic because the first protection is only between my client and the router... am I right?

Is there no way to protect... i don't know... a standard ftp connection?

Traffic

Any connections tunnelled over a VPN are encrypted including FTP, provided the VPN uses some some form of encryption .. clear text tunnels are possible but not very useful.

By the sound of things you will want to take care with your setup as you have not described it very well.
