How to access Web Apps through IP Address?

Question

I have Web App created which I'm accessing through domain.

I need to access my APP service through IP address as well but didn't found any possible way so far.

When I try to access through virtual IP mentioned under "Properties" tab. It shows the (attached) 404 page.

Thanks!

I'm assuming you're using multi-tenant and not an App Service Environment. Outbound IP addresses on multi-tenant environments aren't static and subject change. For this reason, it's always best to use the FQDN, as @ShamirC suggests. This includes binding a custom domain using a CNAME record. However, if you're still wanting access through IP, one method is using IP-based SSL binding which Secure a custom DNS Record with TLS/SSL binding | Microsoft Learn walks your through. Another option is to integrate your app service with a NAT gateway.

These, and any other options, all additional overheard. So, I wouldn't advise going that route unless there's a strange reason why the FQDN wouldn't work.

If you website uses host headers you will need the add the ipaddress as a valid host header for the site. Also if you use ssl, you will need a certificate tied to the ipaddress.
