Then what can the person do? Can you see which pages I'm on, what kind of games I have and what folder? And can I change the ip so that the person no longer sees it. So does it bring anything?
Nothing. The IP is not a secret.
I.d.r. If dynamic IP is used i.e. Your IP will change when you restart your router. So just pull power, wait 10 seconds and plug it in again, then you have a new IP.
Hi, if the person knows your IP, the person could block you DDOSn your internet. Restart your router and if you don't want it to happen again: Buy a VPN!
The person can only see your router's IP.
And which pages you access etc. Can't see them just with your IP, don't worry.
It could theoretically DOS or DDOS but that is very unlikely.
And in theory, she could hack you, but that's even less likely, so don't worry.
Everyone who wants to know your IP, you leave it wherever you are on the Internet. Every website, every program… Everything that has anything to do with the Internet communicates with and through your IP.
What can the person do with it?
It depends on how well the person is familiar with the subject, but basically geo-data can be obtained with it, and device data can also be recorded.
If the person knows how to do it, they can also access your PC, in principle also take over the control. But it takes something more to do this than simple IT skills. DDOS attacks are a popular means, but these can no longer be implemented by a layperson.
In the end, it always depends on how well the person is familiar with the subject, but the effort to attack a home computer is usually not worth the effort. There are easier ways of infecting computers en masse, something that happens via Trojans and other malware. A targeted attack on a single computer is hardly worth the effort and if something like that takes place, then it is more likely to be larger companies such as Sony, Microsoft and Co.
The attacks then tend to paralyze the server infrastructure, which in the end usually leads to angry customers. Such attacks are often used to gain access to user data (credit cards, bank information, etc.); this data is then sold in the darknet and thus converted into money for the attacker.
Okay thanks
