To see if your copy of Wireshark supports MaxMind's GeoIP2 and GeoLite2, go to Help→About Wireshark and look for "MaxMind DB resolver" in the "Compiled with" paragraph. The GeoLite2 version of the AS number database is the only version of that database there is no for-purchase GeoIP2 version. The for-purchase GeoIP2 City and GeoIP2 Country databases are more accurate than the free GeoLite2 City and GeoLite2 Country databases free versions of the GeoIP2 Region, GeoIP2 Organization, and GeoIP2 ISP databases are not available. Wireshark 2.6 and up can use MaxMind's GeoIP2 (purchase) and GeoLite2 (free) databases to look up the city, country, AS number, and other information for an IP address. If you can acquire a new IP when you reset your router, than you probably don't need one.MaxMind produces databases and software for geolocation. Unfortunately you need to pay for this or go with unstable free ones. The only solutions are to tunnel your Skype through a proxy or vpn.
Thanks for your time and helpYou can easily get someone's IP if you are on each others friendlist. I am asking because we have been targets before and are doing everything in our power to prevent future problems, but the result is that my roommate has now been overly cautious when it comes to accepting skype friends for games.
Will setting up a proxy in Skype protect against this? What other threats should I be aware of? I toyed around a bit with it but it was pretty hard to test seeing as we're on the same network (at least it kept returning network IPs). I believe that it is possible with software like Wireshark. Could someone I add to skype for some pvp or whatever get my IP now that he is on my friendlist? I basically would love to know from you pros if it is possible to acquire my IP address through skype if you're on my friendlist (I ensured that nobody can get it through standard skype resolvers).
