Is it possible to access a Firebase hosting site via an IP address?

I have a hardcoded DDNS URL in an application that I can no longer modify the code for. It currently points to a server using its IP address and I'm trying to move over to Firebase.

My problem is that I need to update the DDNS URL with an IP address but I've only got a hosting URL like https://myapp-123q4.firebaseapp.com/.

My understanding is (from this Google Groups post) that because the entire system is shared, there are some specific IP addresses that can be used. Is there any way to access my own firebase hosting URL using an IP address?

(Pinging my firebase URL gave me the IP 151.101.1.195 which is one of the ones mentioned on the above linked post.)

You should not depend on direct IP addresses for accessing Firebase Hosting. There are simply not enough IPv4 addresses available for everyone to have exclusive access to one. You need to use the host name in the HTTP request so that the server can route the request to the correct content.
