Nginx ngx_http_access_module (HTTP access module) configuration and meaning of each parameter

This module provides a simple Host-Based Access Control.

The ngx_http_access_module module makes it possible to control specific IP clients. Rule checks are performed in the first matching order.

_ Configuration example __:

Location/{: deny 192.168.1.1;: Allow 192.168.1.0/24;: Allow 10.1.1.0/16;: deny all ;}

 

In the preceding example, only IP addresses except 192.168.1.1 are allowed to access the network segments 10.1.1.0/16 and 192.168.1.0/24.

When executing many rules, it is best to use the ngx_http_geo_module module.
