I have a web page for monitoring my solar panel at:
http://www.cttestset.com/solar.htm
I use a netburner server on my router to produce the dynamic HTML for the electrical measurments.
<IFRAME SRC="http://24.25.203.226:105/INDEX.HTM" TITLE="Control" NAME="camcontrol"
FRAMEBORDER="1" WIDTH="285" HEIGHT="575">
</IFRAME>
If I add controls I would like to make it more difficult for someone to discover the IP address 24.25.203 ... ect. as someone can just type that in and access the control console. I would then use conventional means to password protect the page on cttestset.com. Can PHP or some other method be used to accomplish this ?

Re: Using PHP to mask numerical IP of link
The only way I could think of doing it is by running it through a proxy first, as if you put an alias (e.g domain) to it then you can just do a whois query to retrieve the IP address. So I would suggest trying to run it through a proxy first maybe?
