From documentation  https   docs djangoproject com en 1 10 ref settings      if DEBUG is False  you also need to properly set the ALLOWED HOSTS   setting  Failing to do so will result in all requests being returned   as    Bad Request  400        And from here  https   docs djangoproject com en 1 10 ref settings  std setting-ALLOWED HOSTS  I am using something like this   ALLOWED HOSTS     localhost    127 0 0 1    www mysite com

Try   SECURITY WARNING  don t run with debug turned on in production  DEBUG   True  ALLOWED HOSTS          A value of     will match anything  in this case you are responsible to provide your own validation of the Host header

Try  ALLOWED HOSTS           Less secure if you re not firewalled off or on a public LAN  but it s what I use and it works   EDIT  Interestingly enough I ve been needing to add this to a few of my 1 8 projects even when DEBUG   True  Very unsure why   EDIT  This is due to a Django security update as mentioned in my comment

Your solution might be to add the original IP and or hostname also  ALLOWED HOSTS        localhost      127 0 0 1      111 222 333 444      mywebsite com    The condition to be satisfied is that the host header  or X-Forwarded-Host if USE X FORWARDED HOST is enabled  should match one of the values in ALLOWED HOSTS

This works for me    SECURITY WARNING  don t run with debug turned on in production  DEBUG   False  ALLOWED HOSTS     localhost    127 0 0 1
