Yeah, but you’re saying this is going to be used internal to you only, right? No public facing exposure?

I will need it to be available via a VPN or other means, but it’s not going to be any more public-facing than it has to be.

Right, so if it’s going to JUST be available over VPN, you don’t need to use a public TLD, DNS, or HSTS at all. Why use the public TLD with these requirements and expose private IP address space over public DNS if it’s solely purpose isn’t going to be consuming publicly?

So I should just host it with an IP address instead of using the domain?
I hadn’t thought to do that, at least not for anything other than short lived internal-network-only projects and tests. An IT guy in the company I work for advised me to just get a domain and host with it/subdomains to make it easier to manage if I wanted to host multiple services.
