Allowing full access to an app

#Post
1

Would I want to allow full access to my IP in return for full use of an app. I see now I do not really need any more features in this computer app. But what are the full implications of allowing someone access to your IP address. It seems to me it would mean full access to your internet connection. It is a super computer application but what are the real risks involved even if you can trust the app maker.

that makes no sense - what's the context? whats the app?

at a stretch you might be talking about port forwarding to an LAN IP address, but hard to know

so where is it asking for "full access to my IP in return for full use ..."
obviously it will need to use your internet connection

Your IP address has nothing to do with it, and your license to use the internet should be revoked. Please just go back to reading books.
