For unix sockets, set this value to ``localhost`` instead of an IP address.

The value ``*`` (wildcard) may be used to signify that all remote peers are
to be trusted.

.. warning::
Using the wildcard is a security issue if Waitress is receiving
connections from untrusted locations as well as trusted locations. Make
sure that waitress is adequately deployed behind an additional layer of
security, such as a firewall only allowing traffic from known proxies.

Default: ``None``
