Restricting access to the admin site by ip using nginx

If you have a static ip, and you administer the site exclusively from this address, you can restrict access to the admin panel of the site by ip. As a rule, site control panels are located in a folder (occasionally on a subdomain :) For example, WordPress has / wp-admin /. So, you need to restrict access only to this directory. In this case, the configuration code will look like this:

  location / wp-admin / {
   allow 127.0.0.1;
   deny all;
 } 

Replace 127.0.0.1 with your ip. It is important that the allow line with your ip is above the deny all line. As stated in the documentation :

... Rules are checked in the order they are written to the first match.

Similarly, with other engines. We learn the address of the admin, block in the same way.
