Can I Access a Website Using an IP Address After a Domain Name Is Connected to WAF?

After a domain name is connected to WAF, you can enter the origin server IP address in the address bar of the browser to access the website. However, your origin server IP address is easily exposed. As a result, attackers can bypass WAF and attack your origin server.
