      Status no longer reports user Ips as those are hidden through some steam routing, I’m not sure if rcon status still reports it but that would be limited to server admins. If you open the steam overlay while in CS it shows some of the details.

      Man shut down the net. When you visit a site your IP is leaked, well be the next headline.

      No, most multiplayer games and services these days only share your IP with the server, and not with other players.

      Leaking your IP to someone malicious can mean DDoS attacks and rough geolocation. IP can be a good narrowing to find your address when combined with additional information.

      SC2 is not a game one would expect to leak your IP and is a valid, small concern.

          Choosing to join a private server is very different from having your IP leaked on official servers.

              Being aware of the small risk you’re taking with one person (the server owner) versus being unaware of the risk you’re taking with many different random lobbies.

              Server owners are more likely to ban you than DDoS you. And it’s a single digit number of people with access to that information vs hundreds in random lobbies.

              The risk, while still small, is hundreds of times greater than a private server.

        It can be very rough geolocation, currently my IP geolocates to a city around 300 Km away, other times the right city.
