# Internal only url

 * Hello,
 * I work for a corporation with an internal only facing blog and upon trying to
   install JetPack I get the following error:
 * Jetpack could not contact WordPress.com: register_http_request_failed. This usually
   means something is incorrectly configured on your web host.
    Operation timed 
   out after 15000 milliseconds with 0 bytes received
 * I tried uploading it manually only to get the following error:
 * The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.
 * I do not have access to FTP after looking up support articles.
 * **My questions:**
 * 1. Does Jetpack work with an internal only facing link to measure internal traffic?
   If so, how do I get it working properly with the errors I am getting?
    2. If 
   not, are there any other alternative solutions that would meet this need?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Hi there! Jetpack relies on a connection to our servers in order to record stats.
   So, if you’re site isn’t publicly accessible, then I’m afraid you won’t be able
   to use all of Jetpack’s features.
 * I did investigate some alternatives for you, and it looks like Google Analytics
   will work on an intranet. You can find some more info about that here:

 * I hope that helps clear things up!

 * Thanks Ryan.
 * We might be able to make our internal facing url accessible but I need to know
   specifically what is trying to be accessed and how please.
 * Eg jetpack is trying to call your blog on port 443 from our servers at xyz.com.

 * Jetpack connects to your site using the XML-RPC protocol. So, Jetpack needs to
   be able to access your xmlrpc.php file, which lives at the root of the installation.
 * If your site is not publicly accessible, you may want to consider using Jetpack’s
   Development Mode:

 * This will allow you to use Jetpack’s features that don’t require a connection.
   Hope that helps!
