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.
I’m not trying to be anonymous or anything, I just hate not being in control of my own privacy from things snooping everything I do. e.g. using a windows computer, using whatsapp, google. etc. for communications.
Although one worry I have is my home address being public information.

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?

And .de domains don’t show that information publicy but you still need to provide it, in case you’re doing something illegal and the police needs to know who you are
Thanks for the tip. Next time please tag me so I don’t miss the message.
I think LibreWolf browser helped me spoof my address. When i signed into Google, i go a gmail from Google saying that an unknown person was using my account in a city across the country and using Windows 10. At the time, I hadn’t been using Windows at all and had never even tried Windows 10. Can’t you get a friend to help you test it out? Ask them to turn on screen recorder and then open up an email from you or a message - then you can see what he/she sees. Then, that person sends you the video. there is also a live way to do that, but I forget what it is called - screen share or something. I think Zoom can do that and a few other software can. I’m not tech-savvy, so not sure if that’d work. Maybe someone here can correct me or add to my idea to make it work better.
