Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I was not aware that is is possible to bind to a specific interface address (typically localhost for security reasons) and have been using
allow_ip()as an inferior substitute.Describe why the feature or enhancement you are proposing fits the library.
The feature is supported already but not documented.
Describe the solution you'd like
Document
bind_address()in README.md similar toport()andbind_socket()Describe alternatives you've considered
It would be nice if
bind_address()alternately accepted an address in the same IP string format used byallow_ip()rather than forcing the caller to construct astruct sockaddr.Additional context
