Internal Webserver

CarlosNaldinho

This should be really simple but I can't figure it out nor can I find any discussion.

I have a webserver for internal use only that is working fine. I can access it by typing 192.168.2.200/websitename

.

How do I set things up so that something like websitename.internal could be used to access the site rather than having to use the ip address?

    Hello Carlos,

    If you are using the UTM as a DNS server, you can add a Network Host Definition for this IP address. When you edit the object, expand the 'DNS Settings' and add the host name you wish to use. When the UTM receives a DNS request for your new hostname, it will reference its own objects first and find the IP you configured.

    I eventually figured that out this morning. It isn't perfect but it will work.

    Ideally I wanted to have abc.internal fo to 192.168.2.200/abc and xyz.internal go to 192.168.2.200/xyz for different sites but that doesn't seem possible using Sophos but maybe a Apache can address that with virtual hosts.

    I also don't like that it switches to the IP number in the broswer rather than display the url but I can live with that.

    You would use a reverse proxy for this.  It can be set up under Web Server Protection.  Read the documentation and you should be able to make it work.
