Still, I would have preferred that instead of displaying the IP numbers themselves, some arithmetical operations should be performed on the digits that make up the IP and end up with an integer between 0-1000 or something. That would be enough, and it wouldn't reveal any info, since the same arithmetical operations could be performed on several different IPs and still get the same result.
