Safety tip: Use a fucking VPN so they can’t get ur ip if they send u a grabify link. Protonvpn is slow but is the only safe free VPN iirc (it’s in a country with excellent privacy laws)
Thankfully there is not very much a potential doxxer can do with just your IP address.
An IP address alone does not allow a hacker to get into your computer.
An IP address alone does not reliably give a hacker even your general location. It does not give a hacker your address.
Much more important than hiding your IP address is protecting your real name, images of your face, and information about your job, school, location etc.
That said, VPNs are great for many things.
