Is it possible to find out a player's IP?

Is it that if you zbs. Fortnite creative mode plays that you can find out the IPv4 address of the other player through a special program?

If you control the server: yes.

Do you have server rights? If not: NO WAY 🙂

You can find out his IP by pinging him on cmd, but you can't do that without any information

Believe about wireshark but unfortunately I don't know exactly how it works but there are many tutorials on YouTube.

Would be a really stupid thing for the provider of the game, i.e. Who also hosts the server, if that were possible.

In terms of data protection law, this is certainly not the case that you can find out about the game, personal data (ie Ip) from third parties.

Well, you don't get the IP per se either. You only get a free public IP from the provider, but nothing more. A tracert command can help more

You can find out the exact IP of the pinged one, but as I said, this is not easy

You just can't. You need the IP of the router for this. The IP of the router is obscured by the DHCP-like IP of the provider, so that you can access the network via the provider. In this case, ping only works up to the provider IP but not to the router IP let alone the subnet IP behind the router. If at all, then as mentioned, this is possible via Tracert.

Ok maybe I expressed myself wrong by pinging, I just can't think of another word to say
