A kid found my IP Address while gaming with him?
So I was doing a match of Casual and a Kid managed to find my location via my IP address. How did he do this? how did he find my IP address?

Yeah you need to get as far away from that kid as possible while you can

Finding IP without consent isn't exactly legal, and it isn't easy to either.

Maybe also joined with him on some voip server (ex. Teamspeak). Gaming on Siege with him won't expose your IP address to him even if you join his custom match as the Siege dedicated server used on a custom match is still being run by Ubi & you're not connected to the kid's internet network.
I was making a funny accent on the VOIP (Mic) in Casual round and they all asked where I was from and I said Russia. The kid replied in less than 30 seconds and said "You are lying" "Your IP is so and so location" and I was like what?!! how did you know? and he wouldn't tell me. Wild stuff.

rainbow six siege isn't very good at consealing players ip, you can find a video on this on youtube. but i doubt he actually found it through rainbow six siege, if you use the same uplay name as you do other social media and you have posted anything about your location; that might be where he got it. If not, don't worry about it. that will be the only person that will ever go through the trouble of actually finding your ip adress unless you REALLY piss them off. He just wants to scare you, he won't swat you or anything, and if he does do anything with your ip you can just tell the police and they can easily track him down and make sure he never does that again.

The kid problably toying on you. I doubt you remember your own IP. There's no way a hacker much more a kid can get access of your IP by just playing casual match on Siege. Siege dedicated server is run by Ubi, not public. He doesn't have any access to the server via a server manager (ex. Procon, BBB, etc.) or your network .

You'd be surprised... ubi's servers aren't exactly 'the best'

It's really not hard to get the IP of anyone you connect to.

I just sort of question why and/or how they would be able to acquire your IP, since you aren't directly connected (unlike a Terrorist Hunt game).

The IP should just be going to Ubi's servers, not directly to you.

However, I've never tried monitoring the IP traffic with Wireshark while playing any of my games, just stuff for work.
