I know that people use your ip address to ddos you, but when I'm on swiftkit irc, people can most of my DNS server's address (but not my ip) and i was wondering if i could be ddosed in runescape if someone knew that? its weird because every ip finding site i go on shows my DNS server address and not my real ip, does this mean I'm safe from people finding my real ip or am just totally lost?

for example at the moment my DNS is 81.44.11.201 which shows up on whatismyipaddress.com, but when i go to my connection and click properties thats the DNS server not the ip, the ip is 192.XXX.1.XXX (hiding some numbers in case lol, can change anyway) so yeah... which is which and which do i not want people to know? :lol:

sorry if this is kind of confusing to read..

81.44.11.201 is your external (or "REAL") IP, 192.xx.. is your internal IP. Internal IP is only used within your home network, external is used everywhere on the internet.

The chances of you getting DDOSed are extremely low either way.

oh lame
