Is Your Public IP Dangerous? What You Need to Know About Online Security Risks

Is your public ip dangerous? Short answer: kinda. Long answer: it’s not *super* dangerous on its own, but it can be a starting point for attacks. Like, someone could use it to try and find open ports or launch a DDoS attack.

If you’re curious, check out sites like whatismyipaddress.com. They show you what info is tied to your IP.

VPNs are def worth it if you’re paranoid. I use ProtonVPN ‘cause it’s free and decent.
