I have been trying to deny all and allow IP only for location: /admin
But It not working, please any help.
where should I add the rule for admin.

location /admin {
		allow 15.235.0.1;
		allow 15.235.0.1;
		deny all;
		error_page 404 = /404.php;
		try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
		
		location ~ \.php$ {
				deny all;
		}
}

My config Files:

nginx.ssl.conf:

server {
        listen      %ip%:%web_ssl_port% ssl;
        server_name %domain_idn% %alias_idn%;

hello,

You could add it to the conf file you already created:

/home/user/conf/web/domain.com/nginx.conf_rewrite

But you must create the same file for ssl:

ln -sr /home/user/conf/web/domain.com/nginx.conf_rewrite /home/user/conf/web/domain.com/nginx.ssl.conf_rewrite

I added at top of files nginx.ssl.conf_rewrite and nginx.conf_rewrite.

after add the page /admin/index.php become downloable, not working in browser,

location /admin {
    allow 15.235.0.1;
    deny all;
    error_page 404 = /404.php;
    try_files $uri =404;
    location ~ \.php$ {
    deny all;
    }
}
location ~* /contents/.*\.php$ {
    internal;
}
location /admin/data/ {
    internal;
}
location /admin/logs/ {
    internal;
}
location /admin/plugins/ {
    internal;
}
location /admin/smarty/ {
    internal;
}
location /admin/stamp/ {
    internal;
}
location /admin/template/ {
    internal;
}
location /admin/tools/ {
    internal;
}
location /blocks/ {
    internal;
}
location /template/ {
    internal;
}
location /tmp/ {
    internal;
}
location /langs/ {
    internal;
}

You should probally just deny access to It . PHP-FPM ignores it anyway

I simply remove it, now file looks example, but getting “access forbidden by rule” 403 Forbidden

location /admin {
    allow 15.235.0.1;
    deny all;
    error_page 404 = /404.php;

    try_files $uri /admin/index.php;

    location ~ \.php$ {
    deny all;
    }
}
location /admin/data/ {
    internal;
}
location /admin/logs/ {
    internal;
}
location /admin/plugins/ {
    internal;
}
location /admin/smarty/ {
    internal;
}
location /admin/stamp/ {
    internal;
}
location /admin/template/ {
    internal;
}
location /admin/tools/ {
    internal;
}
location /blocks/ {
    internal;
}
location /template/ {
    internal;
}
location /tmp/ {
    internal;
}
location /langs/ {
    internal;
