It would be a comfort being if we can change our IP addresses — a ‘bunch’ of numbers which you can type into the box instead of a web address.
I hope you are right about that.
But when ICANN coordinates with a tyrannical regime [such as Obama’s or Hillary’s], that backdoor option could be closed through altering the Registry Operator Code of Conduct
I have at least 1/2 dozen unique IPV4 addresses that I control directly. Anyone can type those into their browser and see my content. Inconvenient obviously, especially if nobody knows those addresses. That’s the whole point of DNS.
