How to restrict access from outside on certain links?

Question

Nginx

Good day.
Please tell me how to restrict access from outside for several links of the /applications/api type, and open for applications/api/*, local access should be for all links without restrictions, we use nginx.

Answer 1

Not too hard if you read the documentation or just google it .

location /application/api {
  # block one workstation
  deny    192.168.1.1;
  # allow anyone in 192.168.1.0/24
  allow   192.168.1.0/24;
  # drop rest of the world 
  deny    all;
}
