I’m using One-Click Install WordPress on Ubuntu 14.04 with DigitalOcean. I don’t want to let people access my ip to browse my site.

Hi!
You should be able to do that by creating a new virtual host for the IP address and blocking all traffic that goes through it. Create the following file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName 1.2.3.4
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
<Location />
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Location>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Enable the new virtualhost:
sudo a2ensite 1.2.3.4
Finally, restart Apache:
sudo service apache2 restart
Now, whenever someone browses to http://1.2.3.4, they should get a 403 Forbidden error.
