Hi,

I have recently upgraded my discouse instance to Discourse/2.9.0.beta14 latest version from Discourse/2.9.0.beta3.  
The discourse webhook event has stopped working now.

This is the configuration  
payload URL: [http://server-name](http://server-name):port/rest : This is the internal rest api service that we have defined.

When I try to save this value, it gives the following error:  
“An error occurred: Payload URL cannot be used because it resolves to a blocked or internal IP”

The same value for payload URL: [http://server-name](http://server-name):port/rest used to work fine in the  
Discourse/2.9.0.beta3 discourse version.  
Is there something that has been updated in the latest version of discourse, or is this a bug?

Please could you let me know. Thanking in advance.
