Jagex and Your IP Address


critical

Recommended Posts

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?

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.

at the top, where it says you last logged in earlier today or w.e if you havent logged in for like a week it does it. or atleast it use to

I remember it displaying that at one point, but I haven't seen that when I log onto any client anymore. And it's been that way for quite sometime now. For me at least.

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.
