Duplicate Listener Stats

Hi. yesterday I had a real strange case of 80 different instances of the same listener IP. I don't recall it happening before. Also, when checking "NOW LISTENING": stats, several IPs are listed twice or three times. This affects the true count. Any idea why it happens? Thank you.
 
If a user runs two different players from the same computer, it will display as two separate listeners with the same IP address. The same happens if all users connect using the same router (e.g. home or office) - they all would have the same external IP address. RadioBOSS Cloud simply shows who's connected, and it's accurate (in technical terms - how many connections are active). It doesn't have any way to distinguish if those are real users or someone doing a lame "DoS" attack this way.
