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.

    • Copilot in Excel just got a major upgrade by Usama Jawad It's no secret that Microsoft is trying to get as many people to use Copilot as possible. This is being done through various means, including integration with OneNote, Defender, Windows, and more. Microsoft Excel is the most popular spreadsheet software out there, so it makes sense that the Redmond tech firm would integrate and build upon the capabilities of Copilot in this tool too. Now, the company has implemented a major upgrade in this integration. In a blog post, Microsoft has made Copilot smarter in terms of context awareness in Excel. This makes the AI assistant more useful when asking questions about your data in nautral language queries. Previously, Copilot would only make inferences based on the cell that you have selected, and it typically worked quite well in this scenario. However, Microsoft has realized that workbooks and sheets have become more complex, which means that Copilot needs to be smarter too. This means that you no longer need to select relevant data when asking queries about it, you can simply ask questions such as "Show me insights about the data I was just analyzing" and "Sort the table in the top-right", and Copilot should just work. Microsoft says that this major upgrade in Copilot is due to combining cell signals with chat history in order to make inferences. It also supports data ranges, which means that it can serve as the foundation for even broader context in future updates. In order to get customers to trust the inferences that Copilot is making, Microsoft will highlight the data that the AI assistant is using. This enables customers to further refine the dataset that Copilot is using so that they can get the most accurate responses. Smart context awareness is available on the web and the following versions of desktop: Windows: Version 2505 (Build 18623.20058) Mac: Version 16.95 (Build 2506.3090) Meanwhile, the visual highlighting feature is also available on the web and the desktop versions mentioned below: Windows: Version 2505 (Build 18705.20000) Mac: Version 16.96 (Build 2506.4070) Microsoft has requested customers to provide feedback through the thumbs up/down icons present at the bottom of the Copilot response cards.
    • We should probably just focus on how nice it is that finally another company is taking reusable rockets seriously. I can't believe there are so few players and many rockets in service today are still completely expendable. Hopefully Honda can scale up theirs and add some badly needed competition. I want to see planes become irrelevant for global travel and we use rockets instead.
    • Yea. It's obviously being deprecated, in case no one noticed or forgot all the announcements and changes. Not such a big deal.
    • The best thing would be to just allow more options to let users pick the layout they like, it doesn't matter at this point really and it's not that hard to do as evidenced but all the 3rd party menus/tools that let you change it in lots of different ways. If you give the users more options they'll be happy, take them away and you have a problem.
