How to hide my ip address while hosting my server?


Recommended Posts

Usually no, since the IP is needed to connect to the server.

You could however do some kind of IP Translation/masking over VPN or some similar construct on your server. However this would increase lag/latency, so I wouldn't recommend this.

It depends on your platform. Some platforms' NAT traversal mechanisms allow one to hide one's IP by relaying all traffic for the user (Valve has a new mechanism written which does this, but it was introduced after DST was already written using their existing, non-IP-hiding NAT traversal).

I can add an option to the lobby to not list the caller's IP, but unless your platform has full relaying it won't really do anything as your IP will still be leaked through the platform NAT traversal, which is in the lobby.
