User able to bypass web policy via IP address

I am still very new to a UTM Firewall so pardon me if this question is too basic.

I recently setup a XG firewall for my home network and added a web filter policy to block explicit sites.

While it appears to work as expected (e.g. opening up an explicit website say http://xxx.com ) and resulted in a page blocked message

However, it appears really easy to bypass :

1) Ping xxx.com to obtain IP address say a.b.c.d

2) open a.b.c.d on your browser which is not blocked

 

I guess the question I have is if bypassing the XG firewall webpolicy is so easy?

Or is there something i am missing out on ?
