Honestly, the whole "what can people do with your ip address" thing is kinda blown out of proportion. Yeah, they can get your general location (like city-level), but it’s not like they’re gonna show up at your door.
DDoS is a real threat if you’re gaming or running a server, but for most people? Nah. Just reboot your router to get a new IP if you’re worried.
VPNs are great for extra privacy, but unless you’re doing shady stuff or *really* paranoid, it’s not a must. I use Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 for basic protection—it’s free and easy.
