helppp

[crude crane]

It’s also not letting me generate a response…

[gleaming fern]

It literally says what you are supposed to do. Go to https://discord.com/channels/1055397662976905229/1064807234825113621 and type /resetip

also next time write normal title, not dumb "helppp", because you will not get help.

[crude crane]

Oh sorry didn’t read it all, my fault.

[lone cave]

@crude crane For future reference, hide those numbers, that's your ip

[crude crane]

Ooh ok thank you

[gleaming fern]

Why? It's just IP... public information, anyone can get easily.

[lone cave]

No one should be getting people's IPs if you IP is public information you're doing something wrong

[gleaming fern]

Not my IP... every IP in general is public information... That's how IP address simply works and is designed to be.

[lone cave]

Well, considering I've seen pawan himself tell people not to share their ip because it's dangerous, I'm gonna follow that

[gleaming fern]

You already share IP to billion of nodes in Internet by everyday use. IP is information that every node and server gets at every packet to know where to send response back to. Just by visiting one website, hundreds nodes and devices gets your IP address (can read from packet header).

But fine, if it's rule to not share IP here, I will respect it.

Even though I think it's nonsense rule.

[lone cave]

Even before I knew internet safety, I understood that making your IP known to everyone, publically was not a good idea

[gleaming fern]

Yet, you gave your IP to at least 100 nodes by just sending this message to Discord. 🤣

We all know what an IP address is. Sharing IP addresses is not allowed on our server. While IP addresses can be used to find a user's location, a website you visit doesn't need to abuse your IP or dox you. However, sharing your IP publicly in a server with 100k members is not good. Everyone can find your country or city, and they could even DDoS your IP, disconnecting you from the internet for hours or even days. This is just a simple example—many other bad things can be done with your IP address. So, sharing IP addresses is not allowed here.

That's problem of ISP, their firewall, your router configuration and so on... uh and most IP addresses are behind NAT. Not really reachable from Internet.

But as I said, fine... rules are rules. I will respect it. Just explaining.

[full bobcat]

So you’re telling us to first check if their ISP has a good firewall or not?
while you know this is a problem, you should prevent it by not allowing people to share their IPs instead of just saying it’s not our problem.

We care about our members' privacy. You, as a member, might not care about that, but this is not how we handle this situation.

[gleaming fern]

Btw. about Discord bot configuration, I know it automatically removes messages containing IP adress, but the problem is it also blocks localhost IP and local network IPs, like 192.168.x.x, maybe you could change and allow at least these IPs in bot filtering.

[full bobcat]

as I said Sharing IP address is not allowed, doesn't matter if its a private IP address or a public one

[gleaming fern]

Yeah, but this also limited providing help, because for example new versions of Node.JS resolve localhost as IPv6, and if I want to use IPv4 I need to write the IP itself to code, and then when I share code I get muted for few minutes. It's really annoying when even 127.zero.zero.one is blocked.

I'm okay with blocking others IPs, it's your server, your rules.

But I really think you should think about how it limits users sometimes.
