O.P. Connect Directly Option, Does It Reveal IP?
at sometime messenger allowed connecting directly to another contact (maybe without an option saying so), i guess that was in v4.6 and b4, which revealed the IP, and was considered a security threat so it was disallowed in msn4.7 and later.
Now in msn7.0 i see it back... what changed from then till now. i know that revealing IP is not a big security threat in itself, but it might be misused...
what advantages and disadvantages this option gives ?! and did microsoft fix something that made this connect directly option safer than b4 ?
