    That’s true for a lot of services. Your IP address doesn’t really matter much. P2P is way better for performance.

    What are people going to do with your IP? The worst they can do is do a Geo lookup. However it doesn’t matter.

        You are welcome to scan my public IP. There are bots scanning it every few seconds. If there was a vulnerability it would be exploited in the matter of a few minutes.

        Also, you have no way of knowing who is behind a website. That’s why web browsers have strong security mechanisms. It is by necessity.

        VPNs do very little. However, VPN companies want to keep up the fear mongering to make money.
