{
       $homeUrl = (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && $_SERVER['HTTPS']
       === 'on' ? "https" : "http")."://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]";

              &&
              (!(strpos($homeUrl, ".intra") !== false))

Get the clients IP address

$clientIpAdress = isset($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'])?$_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP']:isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'])?$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']:$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

Do *not* use this on it’s own for security purposes!
