Whether I get 5 streamers or 105 streamers there will always be a risk of being ddos'd. Since when have habboxforum stopped allowing users to post on the forum asking for advice on an extra security measure? It's also quite good to be aware of things like this. There's no need to be a **** about, stop being so negative, get someone to hug you.

Because people like you don't need to worry about DDoS attacks on residential broadband, or even "business" broadband for that matter.

I think you'd be pretty surprised if you actually knew how often gamers get ddos'd over something petty like a death in the game. A bunch of kids trying to act tough. Either way, I'm entitled to request some help. Whether you believe I need extra security protection or not wasn't the question so it is irrelevant.

No, but this is a forum, for discussion, I'm bringing up the fact no one needs to answer this question because you're not going to need any extra "security" (by the way, good luck defending yourself against a DDoS anyway...)

If I remember correctly the IP address on Skype is just a general one shared by many thus the people you talk to or search you cannot know your IP address only the Skype server one?

I thought this but I believe Skype is a program unlike MSN when speech is in progress it's a direct connection between users like P2P software, which kinda sucks but the only thing I can suggest is a proxy. My Skype goes through Luxembourg/Switzerland, stops those trying to find my IP.

Pretty sure it's only file transfers that's done P2P over skype, and everything else passes through their servers

never looked into it and never honestly cared to be honest so probably wrong

It is.
