According to the section "Sharing Sites On Your Local Network" on laravel.com/docs/7.x/valet#sharing-sites
It states this:
If you wish to allow other devices on your local network to access the
Valet sites on your machine via your machine's IP address (eg:
192.168.1.10/app-name.test), you will need to manually edit the appropriate Nginx configuration file for that site to remove the
restriction on the listen directive by removing the the 127.0.0.1:
prefix on the directive for ports 80 and 443.
I am now trying to understand how to add a nginx configuration file for a specific site. i.e, http://my-site.test/
(manually edit the appropriate Nginx configuration file for that site)
You can open your website from local network only with IP address, eg. http://192.168.1.10/my-site.test

I've got a single DNS entry which I want to map to an external IP address (the ip represent an active directory server running on amazon cloud). Unfortunately, the DNS server used in my organisation has different mapping and it send this URL to internal address (local network) and I don't have permissions to change it for all users.
So I've manually change this DNS entry in my local machine. However, every once in a while, it gets updated by the DNS server.
I tried disabling that updates with a Group Policy, but with no help.
Is there any way to permanently set this DNS mapping either locally (preferable) or in the DNS server for my machine only ?
Update your host file.
In windows:
c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
In Mac:
/etc/hosts
In Linux
/etc/hosts
Add your server there
123.123.123.123 domain.com
Your host file have precedence over the DNS query and is much faster.
Is it possible to block website from DNS Level. Is it possible to create DNS server in windows server 2012?
I know you can do it pre-DNS pevel. Prior to DNS lookup, windows will check the hosts file for IP to domain mapping. You can set facebook.com to 192.168.1.1 and it will use that ip for facebook rather than looking it up in DNS, and thus blocking it. This would require modifying the host file on every machine you want to sensor though. Its a file in the system32 folder.
I have a simple project in asp.net mvc3 I publish in my local PC and using my IP Address to open it. I try to use the hostname that I set in the IIS but it will not open the project. How to use hostname in IIS7?. Anyone knows?.
To add a hostname in IIS7 follow this procedure from Microsoft:
Open IIS Manager. For information about opening IIS Manager, see
Open IIS Manager (IIS 7).
In the Connections pane, expand the Sites
node in the tree, and then select the site for which you want to
configure a host header.
In the Actions pane, click Bindings.
In the
Site Bindings dialog box, select the binding for which you want to
add a host header and then click Edit or click Add to add a new
binding with a host header.
In the Host name box, type a host header
for the site, such as www.contoso.com.
Click OK.
To add an
additional host header, create a new binding with the same IP
address and port, and the new host header. Repeat for each host
header that you want to use this IP address and port.
This configuration means requests received by IIS for this hostname will be sent to the specific site you have configured.
However you need a configuration for requests to actually arrive to this IIS Server and this is where DNS is used.
Your server can be found via its IP(s) address(es). Here you want your server to be found via a hostname, so you need a configuration somewhere which says your hostname points to your server IP.
If this is for an intranet site, ask your network team.
If this is for an internet/extranet website, you need to buy a domain name, and your provider will allow you to make the DNS configuration.
If this is for local (windows) use only, you can bypass DNS by using the hosts file. Check this page for example. The hosts file allows you to tell your local computer to point a hostname to the IP of your choice.
I have a piece of code where an external API needs to access my "www" folder for images. When I load the url, "http://localhost:8001/images/1.jpg" from the browser, it does show the image. But when I access it through the code it says, "connection refused". I have turned off the firewall as well. I also tried using the IP address instead of the "localhost".That doesn't work either. Please help.
Remember the domain name localhost has a special meaning. It always means this PC, or more accurately this network cards loopback address.
I cannot access your PC from here using the domain name localhost, as it will always be looped back to my PC.
If you want an external site to make a call to your PC then there are a number of things you will have to do.
Buy yourself an domain name, you either buy a real one or use a Dynamic DNS service like dyndns.com or or noip.com
Or you use your routers WAN ip address.
Then you must amend the httpd.conf file so that Apache allows access
from all ipaddress's
Then you must Port Forward your Router so the the NAT firewall allows
external accesses on port 80 to be forwarded to the internal PC
running Apache, and only that PC.
And possibly amend your software firewall on the Apache PC to allow access from external sources on port 80
I'm using my friend's dedicated server where he hosts 2 of his websites to host my own, but I'm not familiar with registering domains, and I can't get my domain to point to a specific port I use so that my website doesnt clash with his. He has 2 websites that according to IIS are using the SAME PORT, I installed XAMPP so I had to use the 8080 port, how did he register two different domains for websites hosted on the same ip under the same port? and how do i point my domain to my 8080 port? (using apache)
You need to use host headers to prevent conflicts if you're sharing the same IP, else you need your own IP. With the appropriate dns settings, and host headers setup in iis, you'll never conflict with his sites (that should also be using host headers).
