What is Xresolver

Xresolver is a scam that tries to get Xbox Live gamers to pay for their IP addresses to be removed from their database. Xresolver allows users to type in someone’s gamertag to find out their IP address, if it’s in the database. Knowing the IP address associated with a gamertag could allow someone to drop them from a game or perform a DDoS attack. Numerous users have complained about this on various forums, with Microsoft providing no response. Xresolver

Player’s IP addresses are added to Xresolver’s database when someone they are playing with has Octo Sniff. When the IP address is added to the database, it becomes accessible to anyone who types in the gamertag. Xresolver’s website claims that they aren’t doing anything illegal since IP addresses are public information, but they are still running a scam.

A user whose IP address is in Xresolver’s database can fill in a form to remove it but it’s not a permanent solution. When they are playing with someone who has Octo Sniff, their IP address will be added again and again. Requesting the IP address to be removed repeatedly would understandably be annoying to users, which is why Xresolver is offering to permanently blacklist their IP address if users are willing to pay for it. This will supposedly prevent their IP address from being added, though there are no guarantees that this will actually happen. Furthermore, Xresolver isn’t a trusted business so making a payment to them or providing payment information is a huge risk.

How to prevent being added to Xresolver’s database

For users for whom this is an issue, using a VPN service seems to be one of the only ways to prevent an IP address from being added to Xresolver’s database. VPN are useful in general, not just for this, but users should be careful to pick a legitimate one that actually works.
