It would if we were a regular business but higher education is a different kind of beast. I would need to be able to support VPN for 1,000 people many of whom are part-time faculty. Other staff and faculty will travel to conferences with personal laptops or once a year need to access something when away from campus. Making sure they have VPN before they leave would be almost impossible, then when they are on the road and need something getting VPN added to whatever device they have would also be impossible. And then add to that the other cloud services that faculty use for classes that do not need a VPN connection and make this one web site require VPN and I would have a faculty revolt. I could get support for a rule that if you leave the country you have to be prepared to use VPN but we might have 1 or 2 people travel abroad a year.

Subject: Re: [WEB400] Apache web site blocking by location
Hi, Mike:
If this web site "... should only be accessed by employees ..." then would it not make more sense to put this web site behind a VPN firewall, and issue VPN credentials to those employees?
HTH,

Is it possible to block access to an iSeries hosted web site running under Apache from being accessed by anyone outside the United States? We run a site that should only be accessed by employees and we have no employees who would ever need to access the site from outside the US.
