/etc/nginx/conf.d

    listen 443 ssl;

    }
    
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://rocket_backend/;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
        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 https;
        proxy_set_header X-Nginx-Proxy true;

        proxy_redirect off;
    }
}

I can’t get the IP filter to work.

Shouldn’t this be in its own section like location / ??

server {
listen 443 ssl;
blah
}

location /admin {
allow 192.168.1.0/24;
deny all;
}

location / {
blah
}

And check your nginx logs.

What I am trying to do is block access to the admin section for local ips.
