critical Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Today, Jagex created an OSRS news post titled Protecting Game Integrity. Among other things related to botting, they discussed IP addresses and what players can do to better protect themselves from DDoS attacks and other comprimises. In that section of the post, they said: "Whilst we aren't able to police your individual IP address, we can help educate you with the best advice to protecting it." While this statement is pretty vague, it could give us a bit of insight into Jagex's ability to monitor players' IP addresses. Might this suggest that Jagex can't actually view your IP address? Does this new information affect how us botters should view IP handling/use of proxies? What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDM Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Well OSBot super mods and admins can view anyone's IP if they have the IP to begin with. But I'm sure Mald can see the accounts conneted to each IP just by searching my name so it would be the same thing pretty much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksonpm23 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I wonder how that'll affect with literally the entire gold farming industry revolving around proxies and VPNs...huh. Nah lol, not big news at all. Common sense and they're overblowing their effort to stop bots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Google Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Mate it says police your individual IP , in other words it means they cannot monitor your IP activities to be able to identify that you have been ddosed..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theorems Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 If you connect to any server over the internet, they can see your ip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
District8102 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Jagex getting your IP is as simple as you logging into their website or the game. They see the connection from your address to their servers and then bam thats it, there is most likely a log of it kept. What they are saying is that they can't police individual addresses and find out if Sam DID actually get DDoSed or whether he just got real pissed one day and went PKing and died with all his most valuable shit. Its really important with all the DMM tourny hype and stuff similar to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel as though what they mean by their post is that they can't prevent players from visiting external websites and jeopardizing their IP address.
