Either way, a direct connection is still opened up, allowing a person to potentially find out your IP address. (It's a protocol issue, not a software issue.) But the important thing is that knowing someone's IP isn't a big deal—TCP/IP isn't designed to mask IP's because it's not really necessary, nor is it a good method of security if it is your only method of security. |
