How to implement access to the site page from certain Ip ranges through nginx?

Question

System administration

I'm trying to implement access to the site page through nginx from certain ip addresses
, the first option is through allow deny, for some reason some javascripts work crookedly, instead of executing it, it offers to download it.
second option

if ($remote_addr !~ (aaa.bbb.ccc)|(ddd.eee.fff)|(ggg.hhh.iii)) {
return 444;
}

only works with single ip addresses, is it possible to insert a subnet?
the third option is through geo, but I don’t understand how to specify access to a specific folder
, this is how it looks for me

geo $bad_user {
default 0;
171.196.0.0/161;
171.198.0.0/161;
location 0 {
rewrite ^ www.example.com/123.html;
}
}

But as I understand it, this method will be used to redirect from the entire domain, but how to do it only from the /wp/234/ folder

Answer 1

When implementing the third option in a specific location that defines a forbidden page, set the condition
server {
location page {
if ($bad_user = 1 ) {
return 403
; } I think if necessary, change the return page. without shoveling the entire config.
