Kinda wild how much misinformation there is about ip address what can you do with it. Like, no, you can’t "hack" someone just from an IP alone.
But it *is* useful for stuff like:
- Blocking DDoS attacks (Cloudflare’s great for this)
- Geo-restricting content (Netflix does this, hence VPN wars)
- Debugging network issues (ping/traceroute tools help)
Privacy risks? Mostly overblown unless you’re a high-profile target.
