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.

    • 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.
    • They could've done that the very next day or from the start but when Win11 came out, the MSN team was still rooted in the OS division and pushing for it's hooks into everything. That's why we have recommended and all the MSN feed stuff in the widget panel which you also couldn't turn off at the start. Now that they've been pushed out, last I checked, all this MSN/web feed junk is finally getting the option to be turned off. tl/dr, it's not about coding ability, it's just dumb business decisions.
    • The headline doesn't fit the article. Sure the headline is more enticing probably, but come on, man. Keep it real, if you can help it.
    • The console sales don't mean much like they used to. Sony tells you this themselves but you seem to miss it. They care more about MAUs and how many people they can milk each month than x number of consoles sold, often to the more casual COD, Madden or FiFA gamers who play little else. Sony can't seem to port their games to the PC fast enough because they're not getting enough out of that 75 million console sales it seems. The traditional home console market has stagnated already, everyone knows it.
    • That is fair, I meant the comment somewhat whimsically and as such was a bit careless with the facts. Had I said either 2 or 4 that would be more defensible. SpaceX's Starship crashed 2 times during hop tests and 2 additional hop-test failures that while not exactly a "crash," still resulted in the total destruction of the test vehicle. Even in that example, it would still be fair for you to point out that Starship is a significantly more complex test vehicle and that SpaceX never crashed a simple rocket hop-test like this one. I already admitted that I could have been clearer, but I also don't think it unreasonable to use the word "it" when referring to the subject of the article I am commenting on. I feel like it is an outlying read of my words to assume "it" meant SpaceX's total success. Like I said, I accept responsibility for the ambiguity.
