Hi @chinyang13c,
What I can think of, is using a VPN to connect to this droplet. You can create an OpenVPN with DigitalOcean droplet and connect to in order to connect to what you need. Here are a couple of tutorials which might assist you in that
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-an-openvpn-server-on-ubuntu-18-04
As for your initial request, I can’t think of a way as you’ll still be redirected to the server’s IP address. The VPN should work though.
