Re: How to allow access to a URL from only a selected IP

The following appears to almost work

server {
listen 80;
server_name 192.168.1.25;
return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}

server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name 192.168.1.25;

root /var/www/html;

index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;

ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/openhab.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/openhab.key;

# location ~ paper {
# allow 192.168.1.52;
# deny all;
# }


location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8080/;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

auth_basic "Username and Password Required";
auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.htpasswd;

}

}

When

# location ~ paper {
# allow 192.168.1.52;
# deny all;
# }

is uncommented, nothing access any url with "paper" in the address. I tried merging some of the settings from the other location block into the paper one but could not get that to work either.
