No one can prevent the "IP exposure" when it is running "online".
Valve won't even be able to do that for their own servers, ESEA is no exception and won't be able to do it either.
Simply run "netstat" ("-n" parameter for showing numeric IP addresses), from your Windows command prompt or Linux/MAC terminal, and you'll see all connections you have active on your machine.
The same applies to such as exposure for "sv_downloadurl", if you catch the "netstat" during the download of a file from the "sv_downloadurl", you have the IP/hostname of the server. Other network tools can sniff the whole URI address of "sv_downloadurl", etc.
So short: You cannot hide anything that the Internet needs to access.
