> How does peer-to-peer impact my privacy?
> In order to create a peer-to-peer (P2P) connection, it is necessary for Twitch to make the IP address of each participant available to the other. It may be possible for a highly motivated and technically proficient person to discover participants’ IP addresses, which could potentially be used to approximate location. Viewers who have privacy concerns with P2P can watch streams in 720p to avoid any IP sharing risk.
Ouch, P2P voice chat on steam back in the days was source of ton of DDoS issues
- radicalriddler 4y agoIf you don't want your IP address exposed, watch our content in shit quality... Yeah this sounds about right for Twitch in 2022. Does Twitch even save preferences on quality? So if you go into a stream, isn't it auto by default? Do they have a setting in preferences (I can't see it in the app, but maybe on web)? Otherwise it could auto to HD and expose IP addresses.
