What happens when you expose your IP address? (and how to fix that)

Actually if you recieve a large prolonged DDOS your ISP will just kick you off their network.

I've been using PIA for over 12 months now. I really like it and it has a lot more protection than just masking your IP address. Also lets you connect to overseas servers to see country-restricted content . . .

Your computer and connection under attack are faster than my computer with my 10Mbps adsl

Thank you Liron for educating us.

It works as a google chrome browser plug-in, but is there a downside to using it merely at the browser plug-in level?

[davidforbes]

Wow. The speed when you are under attack is the standard un-attacked speed of most Australian service providors.

Can an iPhone 14 pro be DDos attacked?

[kurZi]

[tbrick]

just happened to me, i was playing games and there was one guy who was being toxic to me and asked me for my discord, i gave it to him and boom, my entire adress got leaked, and something that i regret doing is not downloading vpns, they couldve been lifesavers in that moment 😕

Hi Liron - Hope you still remember me from South Africa. I am a subscriber to your channel and enjoy it a LOT!!! Just a short comment on the recent episode "Never expose your IP address" of May 8th, and after subscribing to PIA offering am a bit disappointed to find out that on my home router of 500MB/s fibre internet line - speeds of about 450 Up / 50 Down I have now only about 140 Up / 50 down. This is the exact same performance I have had on my existing Norton 2 Yrs subscription suite with their built-in VPN. What am I missing here?

[johnw.]

Why did you get kick of on your last phone was listening to our calls?

[norule]

Oh no my internet connection so slow I'm been DDOS attack,
meanwhile other country : internet are slower than an ip address that has been DDOS attack . lol

[imaqufer]
