Internal IP Address (Router settings)
Just now, Diliglont said:Um, i don't know if it's called a router or a modem, but the internet cable coming from my window goes into this box, and then into my pc. Linus doesn't have a video on the difference sadly What could someone do by knowing my ip? (offtopic)
All signs point to it not being a router sadly. You can contact your ISP for more info but based on your description and your screenshot it looks like a modem/VPN appliance.
If your network isn't locked down (and from the looks of your post you're probably just running the default firewall) it can cause some issues if somebody wanted to target you for some reason. In reality probably nothing will happen but if somebody wanted to be a jerk they could knock you offline for a while so it's safer to just not publicly post your IP to make it a little harder for somebody to ruin your day.
