@beardedtechguy So “people would notice a link to mybank.com going to hahapwned.com but not to 89.72.4.2?”
People are more likely, not less, to smell something fishy if they see a random string of digits when they expect the name of a site they trust.
If this is the only argument against certificates for IP addresses, I think we’re good.
