Question - DeepBot and the broadcaster's privacy
« on: November 22, 2013, 10:35:41 AM »
I couldn't decide on the most appropriate forum for this, since it is a question about a feature, but not a request, nor a bug, nor feedback.
My question is: Can someone exploit something about DeepBot and get ahold of your IP address? (it is hosted locally)
There was recently a person in chat who kept posting the broadcaster's IP address, and the broadcaster is very careful when it comes to online security. The only other 'possible' loop-hole was that this person was logged into Ventrilo at the time as well. No Skype, no chat windows, no recent visits to sites linked in chat (malicious types), just Ventrilo, Steam, OBS, and DeepBot.
Thank you for addressing this ExpertsOnline.

There is no easy way to access the streamers IP address through the DeepBot architecture. The connection is secured via the twitch API and masked behind the same security layer that is used by Twitch.
This IP was most likely sourced through other means.

Moved to Help/Support forums.
