1) 2) 3), yes, it is still possible to directly connect to specific peers through IPFS, see <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;gateway.ipfs.io&#x2F;ipfs&#x2F;QmTkzDwWqPbnAh5YiV5VwcTLnGdwSNsNTn2aDxdXBFca7D&#x2F;example#&#x2F;ipfs&#x2F;QmThrNbvLj7afQZhxH72m5Nn1qiVn3eMKWFYV49Zp2mv9B&#x2F;api&#x2F;service&#x2F;readme.md" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;gateway.ipfs.io&#x2F;ipfs&#x2F;QmTkzDwWqPbnAh5YiV5VwcTLnGdwSNsN...</a><p>I think that it should be possible to build hybrid centralized&#x2F;decentralized sites with IPFS, with static public content being fully decentralized and sensitive information going through direct tunnels. Of course, the more decentralized your system the better.<p>As far as the IP system, yes we are unfortunately still reliant on ICANN being sensible about IP allocations, but the DNS system can be fully deprecated. I do know that there is a project out there to redo the IP system in a decentralized fashion but I can&#x27;t recall its name right now.
