It is completely fine. In fact, your public IP address is left behind every website you visit and every game you play.

The leaked IP address was your public-facing one, which is exposed thousands of times daily whenever you go online. In reality, there's nothing anyone can do with it. If they could, they wouldn't need someone else to obtain your IP. You have nothing to worry about.

No need to freak out. You didn't get doxxed like people are saying. An IP address just gives a rough location, nothing specific. If you're still worried, just unplug your modem and router for 30 minutes. When you plug them back in (modem first, then router after it’s online), you'll probably get a new public IP.
