Right, it can be done, but would require a CA who supports that, not all do. For example, Let’s Encrypt doesn’t allow bare IP addresses. I was assuming the question about an IP address was raised due to aversion to purchase a domain name. If so, then TLS certificate is another cost to consider and if not using a domain name, then the main free option becomes unavailable.
