Slam Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 People seriously over-estimate how big of a deal it is to have your IP known. The absolute worse that can happen is you get ddos'd, but because you're a single person not only is this not even worth doing for 99.9% of people with malicious intent, but you can easily just call your ISP and have your IP reset and the problem is neutralized entirely. Nothing to worry about. If you're super paranoid then just contact your ISP and ask for an IP reset (or see if you can do it with your specific router, I know some actually have dynamic IP systems and shit but your ISP might complain if you change your IP too often.)
