Honestly, is your public ip dangerous? It kinda depends. If you’re just browsing and not doing anything sketchy, it’s probably fine. But yeah, someone *could* use it to track your general location or try to probe your network for vulnerabilities.
If you’re worried, a VPN is a solid move. I use NordVPN, and it’s been great for hiding my IP. Proxies are okay too, but VPNs are more reliable imo.
Also, make sure your router’s firewall is on. That’s like the first line of defense.
