What to Do If Someone Has Your IP Address? Need Advice! or Someone Has My IP Address – What Should I

Hey, thanks for all the replies! Definitely feeling less paranoid now.

I reset my router, kept the VPN on, and scanned with Malwarebytes (clean, thankfully). Also disabled remote management like someone suggested.

One follow-up: if I keep my VPN on 24/7, does that make the IP thing a non-issue? Or are there still risks?

Appreciate the help, y’all!
