+# PublicUrlValidator
+#
+# Custom validator for URLs. This validator works like UrlValidator but
+# it blocks by default urls pointing to localhost or the local network.
+#
+# This validator accepts the same params UrlValidator does.
+#
+# Example:
+#
+#   class User < ActiveRecord::Base
+#     validates :personal_url, public_url: true
+#
+#     validates :ftp_url, public_url: { protocols: %w(ftp) }
+#
+#     validates :git_url, public_url: { allow_localhost: true, allow_local_network: true}
+#   end
+#
+class PublicUrlValidator < UrlValidator
+  private
+
+  def default_options
+    # By default block all urls pointing to localhost or the local network
+    super.merge(allow_localhost: false,
+                allow_local_network: false)
+  end
+end
