Developers messenger Skype reported that in the latest versions of the program by default the ability to hide their IP-addresses. This applies to both the desktop and mobile versions of the program. The media have already dubbed this feature protection against trolling, but in reality the situation is different.
The fact that the IPv4 specification, yet used in most networks, allows to know the maximum external network address of the provider. And , incidentally, is not always recorded in the same city, where is the provider and the customers that it serves. It so happens that the provider simply buys a pool of addresses with other registration.
Apparently, this preparation is aimed at the future, when current network address will be replaced by IPv6, which will allow each device to have its own unique network identifier. In this case, the issue of network security in terms of IP-address can once again become relevant. Related Products :
