    IT technician here, without modifying the hosts file on your computer it won’t work.

    You can assume that this will never work on anything other than the development box, regardless of what network you are connected to.

      Wouldn’t be surprised if even that didn’t work - localhost resolving to something that isn’t the local host is the sort of thing that’d get blocked by browsers as a security exploit.
