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.

    • Hello   Would anyone know by chance regarding the Lian Li Lancool 216 ARGB/Fan hub specifically where the front fans would connect to, to be able to see there RPM in UEFI bios when setting up the fan curves,   i am not a hardware expert, mostly a noob on Hardware still,  trying to learn as much as i can, but its a slow process. Did get Dust clean out done on system, and Temps are much much better,  even during a Defender scan previously i'd hit 85C or higher at times, today despite RL temp being humid and warmer today a bit,  didn't hardly go over 60C.     So i definitely cleaned system good this time!! Did the clean out after early afternoon storms ended!! **Note did not build system myself, had Ibuypower Build my Dream Ryzen Build, normally i don't mention that part as sometimes i feel ashamed that i can't build a whole system myself**  Even my last system before this one had Local PC shop build that one, it ran ok, but even after getting the upgraded cooler installed they said this should work,    still throttled when doing tasks.     My AMD Never Throttles!! I also tend to worry alot, just my nature i guess  
    • Did you just buy this drive? Were you ever able to use the full capacity, or you bought this new/only shows 3 GB? If this is new, then you probably got a fake.
    • Steam overlay's FPS counter gets major upgrade to show CPU and VRAM usage, temps, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Valve has been steadily revamping its Steam client for years now, with major updates hitting the PC store and platform targeting various parts. The next target has been revealed to be the very popular performance monitor that's a part of the Steam overlay. While the current version only shows a number in a small area to count the current frame rate of the game that's running, the update is giving much more information to the user. Now available via the Steam Beta client, the performance monitor now has multiple detail levels to choose from. These are FPS Single Value (the original version), FPS Detail & Graph, FPS Detail CPU & GPU Utilization, as well as the behemoth FPS Detail & Graph, CPU, GPU, & RAM Details options. As expected, each option adds more and more information to what's shown to the user on the overlay. Screen position, contrast and saturation, as well as background opacity, can also be adjusted from the same overlay settings page. The image above shows the maximum detail option available for users, with everything from generated frames to helpful graphs and VRAM information being shown while playing a game. "The performance monitor can help you understand your frame rate (both including frame generation, and base game frame rate), and it can help you see if CPU utilization might be your bottleneck, or if your GPU is," says Valve regarding its latest upgrade. "You can see if you are out of system or video memory and if those factors are impacting performance as well." Valve said that some of these features, in this initial beta release, will only be available on Windows machines, at least for now. "Much of it will apply to other supported operating systems and while some metrics are not supported on other operating systems additional support is planned for later," added the company. Check out this handy FAQ set up by Valve that explains what each setting means as well as notes on what issues players can diagnose, like micro stutter or bottlenecks, using these overlay additions. To try out the new feature before it goes out to everyone, you can switch to the Steam Beta Client by heading to the app's Settings > Interface section and changing the Client Beta Participation dropdown to the latest version available. Following that, to enable the new performance monitor, go to Settings > In Game section, and change the detail level to the level you would like.
    • 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.
