Django ALLOWED_HOSTS IPs range

Question

Is there a way to set a range of ALLOWED_HOSTS IPs in django?

Something like this:

ALLOWED_HOSTS = [\'172.17.*.*\']

Answer 1

Mozilla have released a Python package called django-allow-cidr which is designed to solve exactly this problem.

The announcement blog post explains that it's useful for things like health checks that don't have a Host header and just use an IP address.

You would have to change your IP address '172.17.*.*' slightly to be a CIDR range like 172.17.0.0/16
