Hide my external IP address from players
I do not want players to see my IP address when they connect to me - is there a way to mask this via fantasy grounds or do I need to use a VPN, etc?

Use a VPN.

You do know that your IP address is available to every forum you post on, to every social media site etc? It one way forum moderators (not here) are able to block annoying spammers.

Hey there! While I appreciate the bit of info, I didn't think someone was going to be condescending about me asking a simple question.
Yes, I’m aware that public ip addresses are visible online on many sites, but it’s not as plain to see on many of the popular ones. I didn’t think there was any harm in asking if there was an option to make it not as obvious to other people when connecting to your session.

Didn't mean to sound condescending, sorry about that.
Certainly no harm on asking questions around here. Just wanted to make sure that you knew your IP address isn't something generally kept private.
If you do want to keep your IP from your players and using the alias feature isn't enough, then as mentioned a VPN solution is the best way. If your not familiar with the alias feature let us know.
