    Streaming & OW

    Hey quick question, recently I was streaming Overwatch in a lower rank, when I upset a guy so much who found my Stream and saw that I was "smurfing" was so upset, he decided to ddos me.

    My question is though. How was he able to find my IP? Was it through Twitch? I didn't have Skype opened at the time and my Skype name is no where near the same as my Twitch username so that isn't a possibility.

    Next question, is there a way I can prevent this from happening again? If I use a Proxy / VPN while streaming will it in turn cause MS issues anyways?

    I don't believe it would be through Twitch. Everything is routed through their servers.

    Could of been a weird coincidence that your net dropped.

    Could be, he added me on Overwatch before all of it happened as well. I don't think he could of gotten my IP that way though.

    Nah, there isn't a way he could of done that - I'm guessing it didn't happen again? I'd put it down to just your net dropping at a very awkwardly coincidental time.
