IP Address redirect HTML code


Question

Hey,

Trying to create a website that will be only accessible from my work. The computers at my work are all on a LAN, with a certain IP range. The site I am making will contain confidential info for employees only. I am trying to make it so the site will only be accessible from work, and no other computer. Of course, at work we have like 200 computers on a similar IP. Just wondering how to make a script (in HTML) that would allow access to computers with a specific IP range, and anyone not in that range will be redirected.

Thanks

I'm pretty sure I dont. I know what i'm doing when it comes to HTML but nothing further. I just thought it might be possible, similar to how I was able to make one to detect screen resolution with redirects, thought I could with IP Addresses.

why cant this just be a lan setup website then? an Intranet site and not an Internet site!

otherwise you just make it accessible via the external IP address of your service and not via the LAN IP addresses.

because i am just an employee designing a small website tool to help myself. i dont have access to the local intranet.

well then block everything except for the external IP address of your work, server side. Apache can do this and im sure IIS can aswell.

you cant do it via LAN IP address.

One - The LAN IP address isn't whats shown on the net when the packet is passed to the server (fairly sure).

two - Anyone could be using the same IP address as you on a LAN.

As long as it is a up to date server OS (Server 2003 SP2 or above) there should be no reason not to have a intranet on the internet (Extranet) as long as it is password protected

thousands of companies do this daily with no problem.

you could also setup a VPN from your work to the remote server then set the remote server to accept only your works internal lan IP's for connection to the website

yeah companies do this via VPN and such not just via normal html password and IP address. I mean yeah its fairly safe and all but honestly I wouldn't do it (not if there is information that the company doesn't want to be leaked) unless a VPN was setup. That way everything is encrypted and there is a tunnel straight through to the server.

If it's just a tool only for you, put it on your pc, with IIS on, and limit ip to only your pc. I'd also re-read your your I.T. useage policy. You could be terminated by just accessing an outside website and/or hosting a web service.

since your work most likely has nothing but local ip addresses (10.*, 192.168.*, a few others) internally and if you are only going to have static html pages, you can just share the web directory with windows* to allow other computers on your network to access it. under this assumption that your company is using internal ip addresses this page will not be accessible outside your router unless it's specifically forwarding incoming traffic to your computer for whatever reason--and even so because you arent running a web server they wouldnt see anything.

i highly recommend you speak with your network admins if you really want to set up a web server and all. being a net admin myself, i know this sort of thing can be a bitch from a management standpoint if you don't know about it before hand.

*it's been a while since i've used windows so take this with a grain of salt.

    • I always just assumed that how I start programs is pretty close to how most people do it, which is... 1)Either start a program from desktop icon. or... 2)Windows key (or mouse click on start menu) and when start menu appears type in a little of what program you are trying to find, it will highlight, then press enter (or find it with mouse pointer and click it) is the very basic idea. this is very basic core functionality I would never change since it's quick and to the point and just works and has been this way a long time now. NOTE: I am on Linux Mint 22.1-Xfce, but the very basics like this are the same as Windows in this regard. I like how Mint tends to pretty much stay the same (minor tweaks from point release to point release that are slight but overall it's pretty much the same) instead of change for the sake of change like Windows does and ends up making some stuff potentially worse as a result. I say screw all of those trends where something has to 'look current' as I am more of the mindset once something looks good enough, which Mint does, you pretty don't screw with it as if someone does want to mess with it, they can do their own custom tweaks but the base install should be like that 'old faithful' type of interface that everyone has been familiar with for decades now. so by that standard the 'Start Menu' is still useful. I would NEVER get rid of that core functionality as Win8 pretty much tried that upon release and it made doing VERY basic stuff a chore which is why after I briefly tried Win8 in a VM, I never bothered with that OS again as that was easily Microsoft's biggest mess up with interface changes and I have been using Windows since v3.11 in mid-1990's and that Win8 interface change was by far the biggest mess up from Microsoft (how that made it to the final product is beyond me). I realize they supposedly fixed it in Win 8.1, but by then no one really cared as Win7 was the standard and those moving on from that went to Win10.
    • i click a few things on the start menu, other wise I do still use the run box daily.
    • That article title has a typo, it's supposed to say "Do I even need it?" And... I would not have wasted time writing a full article on a software [or feature] analysis based on exactly 1 user experience.
    • Lots of people use it without having an angsty Gotterdammerung.
    • Why certain models only? It should be provided on all high end phones.
