if I have communications with someone through the internet with a homeserver. I would inevitably give out my IP address. Is that a bad thing? In my country they don’t have services like that, RTCing would be a bit sluggish using available euro servers.
At most you can get a general area from the IP, not your actual home address. Edit: unless you are the police of course.
The IP itself is less problematic to be public than some people make it sound. There isn’t really much anyone could do with it that they wouldn’t be able to do otherwise anyways.
Of course if you really need protect your identity, hosting stuff from home isn’t recommended.
I’ve already quit trying to be invisible, I thought doing so would make my life easier but the opposite happened. I kept trying to find ways that are almost impossible to do. Things I want to do by nature is publicly involved.
So the IP just reveals general area of location, correct? Is there anything I want to worry about in my case?
