Can people ping my ip address?
Hi i'm new here, I'd like to know if people can see my ipv4 address as I'm hosting the server and would a vpn be neccessary for hosting? I'm only hosting the server with close friends but I'd like to know how I can protect my server's location and connection to it. Thanks

use smth like playit.gg to hide ip
(I'm a noob at this)
technically yes via port forwarding but i don't recommend this, I would say use something like proGaming said or cloudflare
Nooo they released something else for this ( Ill get u its name )
cloudflare takes 1 usd a gb to protect tcp
@Mortis Sorry i didn't have the name on hand its due to me no longer needing it, Zero Trust and then Tunnels https://i.imgur.com/br95urh.png https://i.imgur.com/O3wqlRR.png
tbh as long as you whitelist your server your good
people use tools to check every ip address on the internet for minecraft servers all the time
its unlikely that anyone is going to ddos your server if its just a small private friends server
