How to allow specific IP access in Nginx?

How to allow specific IP's to a URL (not directory!) in Nginx

• I'm trying to deny access to a specific URL on our site running on Nginx but allow it from specific IP's, I've been trying to fiddle around using Location but it seems that's just trying to find a proper directory and not the URL. This is what I came up with, but just gives back a 404. location /specificurl { root /var/www/site1.com/current; allow 123.123.123.123; deny all; }

• Answer:

  I managed to solve it myself, and this is how: set $deny_access off; if ($remote_addr !~ (123.123.123)) { set $deny_access on; } if ($uri ~ "^/(specificurl)$" ) { set $deny_access on$deny_access; } if ($deny_access = onon) { return 444; }
