Honestly, the whole "is your public IP dangerous" thing is kinda overhyped imo. Like yeah, it *can* be risky if you're careless, but most people are fine.
I use a VPN (NordVPN is my go-to) and keep my router's firewall on. That combo makes me feel pretty safe. Also, tools like ShieldsUP by GRC can check if your IP is exposed to vulnerabilities.
If you're still worried, just avoid clicking sketchy links or downloading random stuff. Common sense goes a long way!
