I appreciate the nuanced control of 'full domain' mode but some sites like to fractionalize fuctionality across a dozen subdomains. It would be much much simpler to allow

s*.domain.tld

instead of

s1.domain.tld
s2.domain.tld
s3.domain.tld
s4.domain.tld
s4.domain.tld
s5.domain.tld
s5.domain.tld

Either as "allow requests" outright or "allow requests from"

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.5.12).

Hi, it would be great if you could give me some more info about the need for s*.domain.tld. I've been slowly laying out the plan to implement wildcards and at the moment I'm going in the direction of allowing wildcards like this:

*.domain.tld
*.sub.domain.tld

but no wildcards anywhere else. That is, wildcards only to indicate "anything below here" but not generic string matching wildcards. And no regular expressions for now. I'd like to know if this would be what you need, partly what you need, or almost useless to you. The relevant ticket is here:

Thanks!
