I think it will match more cases using a regexp like:
origin.match(/localhost|[0-9]{2,3}\.[0-9]{2,3}\.[0-9]{2,3}\.[0-9]{2,3}|::1|\.local|^$/gi)

@cedk This regex don't even match 127.0.0.1. According to this article on IP classes I don't know if a regex would be powerful enough to determine a private IP address (and what about private networks extended on multiple places ?) Maybe an allow-list would better fit ?
