We recommend that you leave this setting at its default.  This is because otherwise users may discover the IP address of an otherwise blocked site and visit it that way.  For specific numeric sites that your users need to access, you can add an entry to the Custom URL Filter or the Filter Bypass or, if they are on your local network, you should put them in your browser’s “Do not use proxy for…” settings.

 

If you do set this option to “Allow IP addresses” then bear in mind that your users may well circumvent the CensorNet’s security.
