I did know it was possible when setting up CA's for VPN servers, they can use certificates with DNS and/or IP as identifiers. Somehow I never thought about certificates for public IP addresses.

FWIW, until a few years ago, it was also possible to get certificates for private IP addresses (and "private" hostnames, such as .local).
