Yeah, finding someone's IP isn't as hard as ppl think, but most methods are sketchy or illegal. Like, if you're in a game or Discord call, someone *could* grab your IP if they know what they're doing.
But if you're just curious how to know someone's ip safely, there are legit tools like Wireshark (for networking stuff) or IP grabbers that work with links—but only if the person clicks it. Still, kinda shady unless they consent.
As for your IP being exposed, websites you visit can see it, but random ppl can't unless you leak it somehow. Use a VPN if you're paranoid.
