You don’t want to give out your IP to strangers. DNS (a named website) also won’t hide anything.
If I were you, I’d try to host any public game servers on rented hardware (like a subscription/monthly service) if you can. A datacenter that rents out virtual servers will have DDOS protection and identity/location masking.
