Your IP gets exposed to others since it has a p2p feature to share the bandwidth of the video with others.

That's true for a lot of services. Your IP address doesn't really matter much. P2P is way better for performance.

What are people going to do with your IP? The worst they can do is do a Geo lookup. However it doesn't matter.
