title: CloudFront - access Website by using CDN IP address instead of DNS
body: <p>I configured CDN in front of my website. Everything works well when you access the website via my custom DNS or CDN DNS. My problem is when I want to use an IP instead of DNS.</p>
  
  <p>When I do a nslookup on my CDN DNS name, I get a list of IP's. If I grab one IP address from there and try to access the website, I get a 403 Forbidden request. </p>
  
  <p>Why is CDN only accepting DNS request and not IP's? </p>
  
  <p>What if I have a proxy in front of my CDN and try to access my website by using the proxy IP, how can I access the website using the proxy IP which points to CDN? </p>
  
  <p>It's a wired requirement and time consuming, I've been looking for the correct answer. No one seems to show a solution. </p>
  
  <p>Cheers!</p>
