+## Host Whitelist 
+
+To prevent DNS rebinding, incoming HTTP requests and WebSockets connections are only accepted from hostnames 
+specified using the [`--host-whitelist`](../Reference/Pantheon-CLI-Syntax.md#host-whitelist) option. 
+The default value for `--host-whitelist` is localhost.
+
+If using the URL `http://127.0.0.1` to make JSON-RPC calls or connect to WebSockets, use `--host-whitelist` 
+to specify the hostname `127.0.0.1` or update the hostname in the JSON-RPC call or WebSockets connection to `localhost`.
+
+If your application publishes RPC ports, specify the hostnames when starting Pantheon.

+!!! example
+    ```bash
+    pantheon --host-whitelist=example.com

+Specify * or all for `--host-whitelist` to effectively disable host protection.
