I would like to block sites to be access using the website ip address and only allow url request to be processed. How can I achieve that, please?

yes, that is good, but with my search I came across an idea where you can prevent someone to access a webpage using IP address by reverse lookups in squid.conf. The problem is how can I do that? I need easy guide with simple example. Thanks.

You really should have searched....

regular expression approach to banning IP-based access

I have not tested this, but it looks as if it should do the job.

I'm not sure reverse proxy will do that, but

Conclusion,
Reverse proxying is a special proxy deployment used to reduce load on a web server. The reverse proxy server is placed outside the firewall, acting as the web server to external clients. Cached requests are sent back directly to the clients without any computation from the actual web server. Uncached requests must be forwarded to the backend web server, and the response from the web server is then cached in the reverse proxy.
