Check external net
Check domains, IPs, and hosts to ensure they are “external”
This is intended to be used to check user-entered host names to ensure that they only contain IP addresses, or domain names that are considered to be external to your system. No IP addresses that are reserved (eg 127.0.0.0/8, 192.168.0.0/16, fc00::/7) and no domains that aren’t children of a public suffix (eg *.com is okay, *.local is not).
Internal IP addresses (is_external_address)
If we are able to discern an IPv4 mapped address, that is passed through as the address to check rather than the original.
From there, all IPv4 reserved networks, and IPv6 reserved networks are considered “internal” (see is_global)
Internal domains (is_external_domain)
A domain is considered internal if it is not external.
A domain is considered external if the last suffix (the final part of a domain after the last . character) exists in the Mozilla public suffix registry.
Internal hosts (is_external_host)
Hosts are parsed as IP addresses via the ipaddress.ip_address function. If this succeeds, it’s treated to the rules of an internal IP address. Otherwise, it’s treated as a domain.
