The paranoia is real, but let’s be practical. What can people do with your ip address? Not much unless you’re a streamer or running a business from home.
Most "hacks" require more than just an IP—like phishing or malware. So relax.
That said, a VPN isn’t overkill. I use NordVPN for Netflix regions anyway lol. Also, disable remote management on your router—it’s off by default but worth checking.
