How to protect a folder by IP address in Nginx

20 Jun 2009

To protect a folder by IP address in nginx is fairly simple, see the example below that demonstrates only allowing access to the /protected folder for people in the 192.168.0.* network.

server {
  ....
  location /protected {
    allow 192.168.0.0/24;
    deny all;
  }
  ...
}
