    Restrict backoffice login to a different domain behind company VPN

    Extending Umbraco
    Umbraco 6

    We would like to turn off public access to the /umbraco URL, and have the backoffice only function on a different domain behind our VPN. What would be the best way of doing this?

    Thanks! Ben

    I'm implementing on my dev server today and will be testing. I'll post back with my results!

    So I actually couldn't get this one to work, so I ended up using a simpler method: 

    <rewrite>
        <rules>
            <rule name="Restrict access" stopProcessing="true">
              <match url="umbraco(?!/Surface/)" />
              <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny" trackAllCaptures="false">
                  <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" matchType="Pattern" pattern="root-url-you-want-to-redirect-to.com"
                     ignoreCase="true" negate="true" />
              </conditions>
              <action type="Redirect" url="/" appendQueryString="false" />
          </rule>
        </rules>
    </rewrite>
