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 actually didn't like the classic Start Menu as much as the XP, Vista, 7 style menu. Mainly didn't like how you either had to click Programs every time, when that is what you would want 95% of the time, or fill up that top section (I forget what it was called back then) which was both harder than it should have been and looked ugly.
    • Beat Saber drops PlayStation VR support, no more content coming to the platform by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Beat Saber, one of the most popular virtual reality games ever, is dropping support for the entire PlayStation VR platform. Developer Beat Games announced the decision today, saying that while PlayStation 4 and 5 players will be able to keep playing the title, no more content will be released for Beat Saber on the platform going forward. "As we look to the future and plan the next big leap for Beat Saber, we have made the decision to no longer release updates for PS4 and PS5 starting in June 2025," said the Meta-owned studio in a social media post today. "Our passion for VR remains unwavering. We are excited about the possibilities that lie ahead and what we can bring to Beat Saber fans who have been on this journey with us over the past 7 years." Lady Gaga’s Abracadabra, which released onto Beat Saber as a premium song on June 5, will be the final piece of new content that will release on PlayStation VR and PlayStation VR2. No new songs will be offered on the platforms, though customer support will still be available. Moreover, Beat Saber's multiplayer functionality is also being shut off on PlayStation soon. This feature will shut down on January 21, 2026, across both consoles. Beat Games confirmed that current Beat Saber content will remain playable on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 even after dropping support, whether it be from the base game, DLC, or individual purchases. Beat Saber will also remain purchasable on the PlayStation Store, and its in-game store will continue to function for players who want to buy any previously released content. Cross-buy between PlayStation 4 and 5 will remain active as well. "We're grateful for the incredible support you've shown us over the years, and we're excited to share what the future holds for Beat Saber," added the studio. Beat Games assured PC players that alongside Meta Quest headsets, the Steam version of Beat Saber will continue to get support going forward.
    • You're right. I did a quick check before posting, but clearly looked at the wrong number (was looking at the stock price, and brain farted into thinking that was market cap in billions). I was surprised it was lower than I thought, but clearly should have looked closer.
    • Soon: honda puts a turbo'd k24 in a rocket with a big spoiler and some extra body trim.
    • Half a trillion? Do your homework, they're worth more than 3 freaking trillion dollars. As for the correlation between market cap and features, I think you're mistaken. There are some things called priorities. It obviously wasn't a priority for them to implement this, as it's still not a priority to implement moving taskbar to different locations of the screen. The trillions of dollars they're worth, have nothing to do with this.
