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.

    • Chrome is now faster than ever and Google explains how it did it by Sayan Sen Back in June last year, Google touted some great performance improvements for Chrome and shared a blog post explaining in detail how it managed to achieve them. Today, almost exactly a year later, the search giant is back again with another such post as it continues to make performance gains in its Chromium browser. Interestingly, Google is not the only one to make such claims in recent times. Microsoft also highlighted recently how Edge was getting significantly faster. Both Microsoft and Google have cited the Speedometer 3.0 benchmark to test. We recently measured browsing performance during our T-Force DDR5-7200 RAM review, also using Speedometer 3.0. In its blog post, Google says that the development team made significant improvements to memory management and caching. This includes some redesigning effort of the memory layouts for many internal data structures used in components such as DOM, CSS, layout, and painting. Google says that Blink, the rendering engine in Chromium, now "avoids a lot of useless churn" so as to make better use of the CPU caches. In the areas where memory handling previously relied on garbage collection in Oilpan, like the DOM (document object model), the team has expanded that by shifting from using malloc (memory allocation function) to Oilpan entirely. For those wondering, Olipan is the garbage collector in Blink. Some of the memory management and caching improvements Google made are fundamental to good code optimization. If you recall, recently, a senior Microsoft engineer also pointed out many of these issues in apps that slow Windows down. There are also improvements in handling strings within the renderer; the hashing method was updated to rapidhash, which is said to improve performance. For when rendering tasks become inherently expensive, such as computing CSS styles for various elements, Google adds that caching techniques have been enhanced to achieve higher cache hits and fewer misses.
