I'm not sure how much clearer I can make this - if you're connected to
SN (or any server for that matter) it knows your IP. Period. That's how
TCP/IP works.

As far as I know you cannot connect your SB to SN from the website (in
fact, I can't think of any way that would be possible). You can control
it while it's connected, including switching it on and off, but it
remains connected even when "off".

Because it's not needed for the SN functionality and I have absolute
faith in SD to not include things like that.

I'm still not really sure what you'd use it for, and plenty of ddns
services already exist - so why not use one of them? Slim have plenty
of things to be doing right now :)
