作为世界上使用最广泛的语音和视频聊天服务^{(voice and video chat service)}，Skype长期以来一直饱受令人讨厌的安全漏洞^{(security hole)}的困扰。如果设置不正确，Skype会泄露您的IP 地址^{(IP address)}。这是Skype的致命^(Achilles)弱点，尽管微软^(Microsoft)在过去几年修补了许多安全漏洞，但他们没有修补这个。^{(security hole)}最近，微软^(Microsoft)发布的所有新版本的Skype都设置了隐藏你的IP 地址^{(IP address)}默认。如果您想知道在Skype中保护您的隐私的特殊设置，并且您想确保将其设置为隐藏您的IP 地址^{(IP address)}以防止不必要的窥探，请阅读本教程：

为什么要将Skype设置为隐藏您的IP 地址^{(IP address)}？

尽管Skype是世界上使用最广泛的语音和视频聊天服务^{(voice & video chat service)}，但它长期以来一直在泄露用户的私人信息。由于Skype^(Skype)中发现的安全漏洞，许多人，尤其是游戏玩家，成为了能够找到其IP 地址^{(IP address)}的攻击者的牺牲品。它甚至并不复杂。互联网^(Internet)上到处都是自称为“ Skype解析器”的阴暗网站。您需要做的就是输入您要查找其IP 地址^{(IP address)}的人的Skype 名称。^{(Skype name)}

一旦有人知道您的IP 地址^{(IP address)}，他或她就可以使用它对您发起拒绝服务攻击。由于此类攻击，您将无法正常浏览Internet。如果您是游戏玩家，并且在玩在线游戏时受到攻击，您很可能会与游戏断开连接。这显然不是你想要的，尤其是在玩英雄联盟^(League)或 DOTA^{(Legends or DOTA)} 2等多人游戏时。

幸运的是，微软^(Microsoft)决定改变Skype的默认配置方式。所有新版本的Skype，无论是 PC 版还是手机版，都默认设置为隐藏您的 IP 地址^{(are set to hide your IP address by default)}。这意味着没有人可以通过知道您的Skype 用户名找到您的^{(Skype username)}IP 地址^{(IP address)}。

如果您使用的是过时版本的Skype 应用程序^{(Skype app)}，我们强烈建议您更新到Skype 官方网站^{(official Skype website)}上提供的最新版本。

然后，确保选中名为“仅允许直接连接到您的联系人”^{("Allow direct connection to your contacts only")}的选项。这是隐藏您的IP 地址^{(IP address)}以防窥探的设置。阅读下一节以了解如何做到这一点。

如何设置Skype for Windows以隐藏您的IP 地址^{(IP address)}

将Skype^(Skype)设置为隐藏您的IP 地址^{(IP address)}的第一步是启动Skype 客户端并连接^{(Skype client and connect)}到您的帐户。

登录后，单击或点击^{(click or tap)}窗口顶部的工具^(Tools)菜单，然后单击或点击选项^(Options)。

在选项^(Options)窗口中，打开高级^(Advanced)部分并在左侧菜单中选择连接设置。^(Connection)

在选项^(Options)窗口的右侧，您将看到一个名为“仅允许直接连接到您的联系人”^{("Allow direct connections to your contacts only")}的设置。如果您希望 Skype 对陌生人隐藏您的IP 地址，请检查此设置。^{(IP address)}

不要忘记单击或点击保存^(Save)以应用您的新设置。

结论

从现在开始，任何不受欢迎的人只要知道您的Skype 用户名就无法找到您的^{(Skype username)}IP 地址^{(IP address)}。但是，即使Skype对您不认识的人隐藏IP 地址，它仍然可以与您认识的人建立直接连接，并且是您联系人列表的一部分。^{(IP address)}如果您仍然被随机踢出您最喜欢的网络游戏，并且您怀疑您的IP 地址^{(IP address)}被Skype泄露了，那么您可能已经被Skype的好“朋友”恶作剧了。🙂

How to make sure that Skype for Windows hides your IP address

While being the most widely used voice and video chat servіcе in the world, Skyре has suffered for a vеry long time from a really annoying secυrity hole. Іf not set properly, Skype leaks your IP address. Thіs was Skype's Achilles' heel and, even though Microsoft patched many security holes during the last few yeаrs, they didn't patch this one. Recently, all the new versions оf Skype that get released by Microsoft are set to hide your IP address by default. If you want tо know which is that speciаl setting that protects your privaсy in Skype and you want to make surе that іt's set to hide your IP address from unwanted prying eyes, read thiѕ tutorial:

Why would you want to set Skype to hide your IP address?

Although Skype is the most widely used voice & video chat service in the world, it has been leaking private information about its users for a very long time. Many people, especially gamers, fell prey to attackers who were able to find their IP addresses because of the security holes found in Skype. And it's not even complicated. the Internet is full of shady websites that call themselves "Skype resolvers". All you need to do is enter the Skype name of the person whose IP address you want to find.

Once someone knows your IP address, he or she can use it to launch denial-of-service attacks on you. As a result of such an attack, you will be unable to browse the Internet normally. If you are a gamer and you are attacked while you are playing an online game, you will most likely be disconnected from it. It's obviously not something you'd want, especially when playing multiplayer games like League of Legends or DOTA 2.

Fortunately, Microsoft has decided to change the way Skype is configured by default. All the new versions of Skype, be them PC or mobile, are set to hide your IP address by default. Which means that nobody can find your IP address just by knowing your Skype username.

If you are using an outdated version of the Skype app, we strongly recommend that you update to the latest version available on the official Skype website.

Then, make sure that the option called "Allow direct connection to your contacts only" is checked. This is the setting that hides your IP address from prying eyes. Read the next section to see how to do that.

How to set Skype for Windows to hide your IP address

The first step for setting Skype to hide your IP address is to launch the Skype client and connect to your account.

Once you've logged in, click or tap on the Tools menu from the top of the window, and then click or tap Options.

In the Options window, open the Advanced section and select the Connection settings in the menu on the left.

On the right side of the Options window, you will see a setting called "Allow direct connections to your contacts only". If you want Skype to hide your IP address from unknown people, check this setting.

Don't forget to click or tap Save to apply your new setting.

Conclusion

From now on, no unwanted person can find your IP address just by knowing your Skype username. However, even if Skype hides the IP address from people you don't know, it can still establish direct connections to people you know and are part of your contacts list. If you are still randomly kicked out of your favorite online game and you suspect that your IP address was leaked by Skype, then you have probably been pranked by a good Skype "friend". 🙂
