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

Wow, thanks for all the replies, everyone! I didn’t expect so much input. I checked out whatismyipaddress.com like someone suggested, and yeah, it’s kinda wild how much info is tied to my IP.

I think I’m gonna try out a VPN—probably NordVPN or ExpressVPN since a few of you mentioned them.

One more question though: do VPNs slow down your internet? I’ve heard mixed things about that.

Thanks again! You guys are awesome.
