Well, if your officenetwork is opened to the whole internet, you better
check a lot of other stuff too.
Are you sure you opened up your local network to the world?
The fact that you can find the internet from your office doesn't mean that
everybody on the internet can just walk into your officenetwork.
If you opened up your local officenetwork to the world, I would advise you
to change that, unless you have a permanent competent IT-staff that is
aware of all new flaws/bugs/MS-'features'/etc.
To your question:
IF you have your network open to the world (which is dangerous) AND you want
to limit the access to your local network only:
- Just check above every script if the IP-num of the client falls into a
range you KNOW is your local network, eg:
If your local network has IP-nums like: 10.0.0.12, 10.0.0.120, etc:
aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
should fall into:
10.0.0.XXX where XXX can be anything.
