- He may be just jocking and don’t ever had your IP address
- If he really has your real public IP address, he can only see the area where you are, an approximation. Only your ISP provider know your real address.
- The public IP is the IP of your router box, and generally routers block incoming connections on all ports, as they just allow internally-initiated communications.
- You should be safe, no worries
any time you make some kind of remote connection or request you will provide your ip, and to be honest it’s difficult to do something with it, ok cool I know roughly the country and region where you live and even then, dorks won’t do shit.

That’s a private ip schema. Only relevant to your internal network. Most private networks follow this scheme behind your router.
Your public IP is a different thing, but even then that is usually pooled with multiple users possibly having that address at different times, and can switch around unless you are paying for a static IP from your ISP; meaning you pay to get the keep the same public IP on a monthly basis.
They are just trying to scare you. 192.168.x.x will occur in most consumer/home networks (although some enterprise networks too but that’s not important). You can ignore them.

Now if they were able to get your exact internal address and subnet along with gateway, then maybe you could have a compromise in your network. But since they said they know your address without mention of a public ip it’s safe to say you are ok.

If you are a regular user with a standard ISP, like Comcast or AT&T, your IP address changes every so often. Also, the geolocation by IP address is pretty broad.
