 The ``app_names`` option lets you filter which specific apps you want to serve (comma separated). If absent or empty
 all the apps in the APPS_FOLDER will be run.
 
+By default (for security reasons) the py4web framework will listen only on 127.0.0.1, i.e. localhost.
+If you need to reach it from other machines you must specify the host option,
+like ``py4web run --host 0.0.0.0 apps``.
+
 The ``url_prefix`` option is useful for routing at the py4web level. It allows mapping to multiple versions of py4web
 running on different ports as long as the url_prefix and port match the location. For example
 ``py4web run --url_prefix=/abracadabra --port 8000 apps``.
