Does anyone have a web resource that shares different gateways. Brave has this as default:

dweb.link

I want to see my other options

Thank you, I see on that list that there are about 70 gateways but about 55 are offline. Why are so many offline? Are these. gateway servers regularly ddos attacked?  
And… it looks like there are 14-15 up and working gateways for all of ifps.Of course these work with regular domain names which makes this just as censorable as a normal website, well not exactly but it is close. I wonder if you could just use an ip address? This way cut out the domain name registering middle man process.

Is there any way to point to a gateway just using an ip address? Why is a domain required? I see that someone setup a .onion address for a gateway…
