Your IP isn't a secret. There plenty of ways to get it. And this one doesn't even link it to your identity

It's not about identification it's about being disconnected in a DoS by someone with faster internet (until I can get a new one, dynamic IP rotates).

DoS is expensive. Who the hell would spend money just to get you disconnected? Nobody cares about your connection
