With just an IP? Then the system is broken. Because an IP is often easy to get, and everything that directly connects to you needs your IP, unless you use a VPN I guess.
Every website knows your IP. Every internet application knows your IP. Everyone in a peer-to-to-peer network knows your IP. It's not a secret, it's just your internet address. It is designed to be known.
