Use Case

There can be occassions where you can know specific IP Ranges that belong to a company or that you might know the static IP of a user and you want to display to him or to employees of that company a box containing content for exclusive for them.

Useful Notes

IP Addresses can be easily spoofed by the visitors just by using a VPN or a Proxy of any kind. It is not 100% guaranteed that the IP your server will see is theirs. Also, the users can also have dynamic IPs which means that their IPs are changed by their ISP at regular intervals.
