It's not exactly encrypted in this game. Everyone's IP is in the log file. Flush / Restart and you'll be fine.

If you’re still concerned about your IP address being discovered after this, try using a VPN (note that it will affect online games ping/region-wise).

I'm guessing you're one of those that doesn't gives a crap about the concerns of others. Ever.

OP: Reset your router, screenshot next time, and send a report. Hopefully they can do something about your problem.

I'd think it's bannable. If it bothered you and you've made a screenshot of it, go ahead and report them.

Yep. It's a private company that prefers that you didn't get games cheaper from another region OR if you live in seriously lame company like Germany you can't get uncensored games.

Thats because this should be a non concern. If your on the internet and not using a proxy or VPN, your IP address is always exposed. That is how traffic can get back to you.

Someone who has the skillset to actually exploit it and attack without further information would not be playing dbd....they'd be after valuable targets like corp systems, banks, government infrastructure...

By the way, my profession is network engineering.
