Whoa Peer to Peer connections with
strangers is scary stuff that almost no one would volunteer for. I get the bandwidth reasons to do it but everyone should know this is peer to peer before connecting and know the risks of being hacked/stalked as they expose their IP to strangers. I would put a huge disclaimer about it, which I didn't see on your site.
- eieio 3y agoHuh, I (naively, I guess, although this seemed largely true of my playtesters) thought that folks would assume that this was how it worked. The site does mention that it uses WebRTC although it certainly is not a "huge disclaimer" right now. I am going to see if I can rejigger the site to just always use my TURN server for now. I'm also happy to chat more (here, or you can email eieiogames@gmail.com).
- brynbryn 3y agoIt's WebRTC. It's all over the web and well implemented. What are you exact concerns? IP isn't GPS
- kylebenzle 3y agoI agree. No issues in exposing your IP. What exactly would be the "fear"? You connect with someone, then they use your IP to file a request with law enforcement to go get your address then use that info to "stalk" you?
- eieio 3y agoI pushed a change to route everything through my server for the time being.
