I have created a webpage using Django and am looking to link it to my purchased domain name through domain.com. Domain.com tutorials have been worthless and they offer web hosting but I am not sure how to link my local Django project. Does it have to do with the SSL Certificate? Feel free to explain it to me like I am a 5 year old.
I tried including the domain and ip of the purchased domain in the ALLOWED_HOSTS=[] but obviously that doesn't work without some communication between domain.com and Django.

I have programmed in python a web application using flask. I decided to deploy it from my home with a raspberry pi which runs the code continuously. I would like it to be accessible from a web browser and for that I have thought to configure my router to redirect the requests to my server. I also took care to configure my firewall accordingly. It turns out that the application works well and is perfectly accessible by typing its public IP in my URL bar. The problem is that I can't access it using a domain name. I have rented a new one and I have configured the DNS records so that it points to my server. I tested the DNS servers and it seems that the pointing is effective. However, when I enter the domain name I don't get my web application but the page of hostinger, the hosting company where I rented the domain name. I have contacted the technical department and they assure me that the problem is not in the DNS but in the hosting, so in my python code. This leaves me perplexed because my web application is accessible from its public IP. So the code should be good.
Please do not hesitate to ask me for additional details, either on the level of my python program or on the level of my server.
Thanks in advance for your help
There are websites like, "XYZ.com" and "ABC.com" and those websites can only be accessible with such a range of ip addresses.
We have public IP and using that third party website are accessible. (with only office premises we can access those website)
I have to develop a website (djangoproxy.com) in django so that I can access those third party websites from outside the public ip range.
so i plan to access those website like,
XYZ.djangoproxy.com,
ABC.djangoproxy.com
There is one condition, that access is based on only authenticated users. So I have to write code on djangoproxy.com for an authentic user. and after successfully login open a third party website in the same browser tab.
Had checked some python packages for vpn,

Reference:
Python requests, change IP address
Can you guide me if this functionality can be developed using python code or any web-server configuration.
I am using NGINX as a web-server to host djangoproxy.com.
You can use django-revproxy for your purpose. Your Django server will sit between the client and the external website. You can add the authentication logic of Django and allow proxy for only authenticated clients.
I am looking to integrate a wordpress website at mydomain.com with a django web app set up at analytics.mydomain.com. The wordpress website is the main website, where payments are accepted, a user area are that contains the link to the Django analytics tools. The Django app is hosted on another site (e.g Heroku) but is set up as a subdomain.
I would like the database and user authentication and information on WordPress to act as a master to the Django slave rather than vice versa.
How can I integrate authenticated users on the wordpress site, who have paid for analytics functionality, to have access to the django app without requiring login in again, or how can I share the user logins automatically - like an single sign on or something similar?
What is the best way to go about this?
Is it possible to have a website where the landing page is a Flask app hosted through Heroku, connected to an online store that is hosted through Shopify?
For example, website.com is my Flask landing page. Then shop.website.com is a Shopify store selling my products.
If possible, what do I need to do?
Yes that's possible, but has nothing to do with Flask.
You can set your A record of website.com to point to your Heroku server.
For the Shopify part, I am not familiar with how exactly you set this up on their site, but they have a documentation where you can learn how to set up a subdomain (e.g. shop.website.com) to use with your Shopify shop.
I have developed a web interface for a system in django, which is running on my institution server (abc.edu). So the web address for the interface is http://def.abc.edu:8000/mysystem.
I am going to submit a paper about the system in a double blind conference (reviewers should not know which institution I am from). SO, I can not put the link http://def.abc.edu:8000/mysystem in my paper, I have to hide the domain name. Is there a way to do that in django, or in any other way? Any help will be appreciated.
As stated in the comments, this is not done using Django but using a DNS. The reason is simple: when you type an address in the URL bar of your browser, it asks a DNS to which IP does the domain of the URL correspond, which Django (or any other web framework) is oblivious of. Changing your address in Django will only change the URL on links which will become invalid.
Providing directly the IP of your server, as stated in the comments, won't provide any protection of any kind because universities IP addresses ranges are well known. Finding from which university a given IP comes from is easy.
The easiest way to achieve your need would be to get (for free or purchase) a DNS which redirects to your address. Dyndns.org, noip.com and similar DNS service providers gives you some features such as embedding your website in a frame to hide its address from the URL and similar tricks. Most of these tricks are pretty easy to deceive and discover the origin URL or address, though.
You may also host your project on another server, outside your university. Depending on the requirements of your web interface, some hosts may host you for free.
