ok so I just read this :-

Quote:

Blocking sites that are accessed by it's IP address to get around the Web Filter. Here is how this is done using the Protocol Control module.

Click Show Settings on the Protocol Control Module.

Select the Protocol List tab

Click the green + sign to create a new rule.

You should have a new line appear green in the rules list.

In the Category cell, enter Block Access by IP

In the Protocol Cell, enter Access by IP

Check the Block and check the Log cells

In the Description Cell, enter Block requests made with IP address

In the Signature Cell, enter

Code:
(GET|POST|HEAD) [^ ]+ HTTP.*host: \b\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\b

Click Save

Now try to access a site by it's IP address. You should get a blank page and an Event should show up as blocked in the Protocol Control module's Event Log.

The problem is where is the Protocol Control Module?
anyone knows anything about it?

where did you read this?

Looks like a .htaccess file configuration... not the one for your computer....
