To block IP-based URLs:
- Create HTTP Inspection filter for IPv4 addresses. To set up the filter:

- On the Filters page, click Add > Advanced View.
- In the Patterns field, enter the following:
_SCAN_SET_1_ REQ {
METHOD: GET
HOST: [0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+
} - Save the changes made.
- Set up the policy that will use the filter set in Step 1:
- From the web console, Click HTTP > HTTP Inspection > Policies > HTTP Inspection Global Policy (or any policy).
- Select the filter you added above and block it.
- Save and deploy policies.
InterScan Web Security Virtual Appliance (IWSVA) should now block IP addresses (IPv4) entered on the browser's address bar.
