Is there any way to ensure privacy? It seems like it would difficult

Is there a way I could at least ping or use another tool to find out as

He doesn't need a proxy, most NAT Routers provide logging, so he can see
your address on his LAN and any address that you connect to.

If you don't want friends to know what you are doing then you need to get
your own internet service.
