Telegram, which has more than 700 million users, utilises a peer-to-peer connection between callers 슬롯사이트œfor better quality and reduced latency,슬롯사이트� a Telegram spokesperson said in a statement. 슬롯사이트œThe downside of this is that it necessitates that both sides know the IP address of the other (since it is a direct connection). Unlike on other messengers, calls from those who are not your contact list will be routed through Telegram슬롯사이트™s servers to obscure that,슬롯사이트� the spokesperson added.

Simonov wrote in a post that recently, he was faced with the task of determining the IP address of his interlocutor in the Telegram messenger. 슬롯사이트œFor this purpose, I used the network traffic analysis tool Wireshark, where I detected STUN protocol traffic,슬롯사이트� he mentioned. STUN (Session Traversal Utilities for NAT) is a standardised protocol designed to help devices behind NAT (Network Address Translation) determine their external IP address and the type of NAT that is used on their gateway.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Instagram New Feature Update: Meta-Owned Platform Soon To Allow Some Users To Create Polls In Comment Section of Post.

To avoid leaking your IP address, you have to go to Telegram슬롯사이트™s settings, privacy and security, calls, and then select 슬롯사이트œNever슬롯사이트� in the Peer-to-Peer menu.
