its useless if you only want to protect your clientinfo.xml by encrypting your grf, ip will still be visible using some software like wireshark.

For protecting clientinfo, it's useless.

Why you would want to protect clientinfo.xml?

My fear is actually stealing IP from my host in clientinfo to do DDoS.

You can't, it's an online game, you need to expose the IP somehow to let players connect.

Even if it's encrypted, player still connects to server and can see IP Via 3rd party tools.

For ddos, just have ddos protected servers.
