Block Rule - Redirect to IP address is not optimal

Excuse my bad english, i am not a native speaker.

I have the option to redirect blocked requests to an IP address (A/AAA). Normally you want to point to a different web address here.

Problem: As part of website hosting, many websites run under the same IP. The accessibility of the different domains/websites is controlled by the web server/reverse proxy.

It is rather the exception when I can access a web presence directly via the IP.

If a redirect to a URL were possible, I would cover all scenarios.

The current redirect to an IP ultimately only has the purpose of redirecting to an HTTP(S) page. Why not a URL redirect from the start?
