Minecraft is a massive game it is absolutely huge and Minecraft servers are a very big part of that most players eventually get to a point where they want to start hosting their own Minecraft server and while there’s a big part of the community that goes to a hosting company and purchases a server There there’s also a big part of the community that doesn’t want to spend any money at all so they do one of two things they either go to a free hosting provider like Adas or they host a Minecraft server from their own PC now hosting a Minecraft server from your own PC comes with some huge security risks and in today’s video I want to talk about that real quick so running a Minecraft server from your own PC might sound great but it’s also very very dangerous now the reason that it is dangerous is that for other players to Get onto your server you have to share your own home IP address with them but not just that you also have to do some port forwarding which basically means you need to open up a port so people from outside of if your home network can get onto your home network so basically You’re opening up one of the ports of your IP everyone can just get in now that might sound really dangerous and that’s because it is it will be very easy for people with malicious intentions to do something horrible to your home network if they can just Simply get on through a port and luckily there are lots of people there that know the dangers of sharing their own IP address for those who are unfamiliar If someone knows your IP they basically know where you live and it is why people have come up with something to hide Their own IP address and I see this happen so often and the thing is it doesn’t work so what am I talking about well this is what I’m talking about let’s say this is your home IP address this IP address can show people where you live and you want to host a Minecraft server from this IP so you do have to share it with other people across the internet otherwise they can’t join but you know the dangers you know you should not just put your IP address out there so you want to hide it and what many people do is simply hide it Behind a domain so instead of giving your IP address you just give a domain for example mc.hypixel.net that way people have to fill in mc.hypixel.net into Minecraft and you don’t actually have to give them your own IP address and it kind of scares me how many people think that this method actually works Because it does not you know how long it would take me a very simple human being to discover your IP address from only knowing a domain you know how long that would take approximately 5 seconds and I’m not even kidding so I just Googled the word IP Pinger and the website that Popped up on top is this one the DNS Checker over here you can ping any domain name and see the IP so I can type in mc.hypixel.net just like that then ping IP V4 wait for a couple seconds this is hypixel’s IP that wasn’t heart right no it wasn’t it Was very very easy now that we know this IP address I can just copy it I’m going to fill it in here and then I’m going to click IP to location and there we go we can now see the location of this IP address over here so here we got a Country we got a state we got a city and also an IPS the IPS is Hypixel Inc okay then way we scroll down a little bit here we got one that says United States but here we have another one that also says Canada and here we have have Another one that says Canada so I think we can be pretty certain now that the Hypixel server is located in Canada to be more precise inside of this state and inside of this city now that is a lot of information from just an IP address because an IP is basically your location Online now in this case it doesn’t really matter you know Hypixel just has a data center over here where they run their whole server from Hypixel is huge but if you fill in the IP address of your own friend here then you will see approximately where they live now you Might be like kasur you’re exposing everyone I’m really not this is common online knowledge and only reason I’m showing how easy this is is because I really want people to be careful sharing your IP address online can be very very dangerous at board forwarding and letting people onto your home network Even more so now if you know what you’re doing if you have a lot of experience running Minecraft servers from home as you got a very cool and valid method with proxies or something like that to hide your IP then be my guest who am I To tell you you shouldn’t do it but if you are out there looking at all the options available maybe you want to purchase a server maybe you want to go to atos maybe you want to run it from home then keep this in mind if you choose for the home option and people That know anything about this might say like of course it’s not safe everyone knows that but the thing is a lot of people don’t know that on my Discord server I see multiple people every single day make this mistake so I’m not making this video to expose people I’m Just just making this video because I see a lot of people make this mistake and I just want to warn those people that whatever they’re doing is not a safe way to hide their IP address and you should really think twice before running a Minecraft server from home Anyways that is going to be it for today I really hope you enjoyed a little different video than usually but I think it was worth making make sure to hit subscribe if you’ve not done so yet and then I will see you in the next one bye-bye n Video
