My solution for my own private intranet at home is to use nginx's built in ip filtering and a vpn so that only browsers that are behind my wan ip can view my internal sites. Another interesting thing is that you can have the non approved ip addresses "see" a totally different site on a url than those 'in the know' do. I'm not aware of any downsides to this method. If there is one, would be good to know.
