When I try to add an embeddable host with the host: `http://192.168.1.167:3000` then it tells me that the host is invalid.

If I remove the port number, as so: `http://192.168.1.167`, then everything works.

Here’s a video of the issue in detail:

Does this seem OK to you @eviltrout? Any security risk here?
