Step 7: Camera AI that can catch the people scribbling “Sci-Hub is 190.115.31.218” on a bathroom wall.

Does that even work anymore? I thought plain IP addresses were a thing of the past ever since we started doing virtual hosts 25 years ago. I just get a 503 when I use the address you posted...

If you just point your browser to https://<ip_address> then it won't work. You also need to have the correct hostname in the http request headers.

The easiest way to accomplish this is to add the address into your .hosts file (as sibling post says) and just use the name.

As well as SNI, most reverse proxies need to know which TLS cert to serve. Lower than layer 7.

Whatever is included on the bathroom wall

"scihub.invalid 192.168.19.17"

Literally DNS-over-sneakernet

There's literally no perfect law in the world. So I'm not exactly sure what your point is.
