I was lookiing at peers and saw this
2001:0:9d38:6abd:66
b4a0:1dcb.
Is this an encrypted ip or connection? If so how do i achieve it? Is it require encryption?
Should my ip be in the list of peers?

Yes. If it isn't, they can't communicate with your peer.

Your external IP IS the only way that devices on your Internet connection can be identified and communicated with by any other Internet connected device. If your IP wasn't 'visible' you could not browse websites, send or receive email, 'chat' over instant messaging or indeed download over peer to peer networking.
