Mining security

[joemde]

Hi

I am going to be doing some mining and I have a question that I haven't seen answered elsewhere. If you are solo mining should you try to conceal your true IP addy when doing so. In other words would I become a target if I brought online a not insignificant amount of hashing power mining solo? Just for arguments sake say 50 ghash/s in todays climate? If the answer is yes I will become a target could someone point me to information on how to protect myself. Thanks in advance.
