Why does the deny ip set in nginx not take effect?

Question

I made sure I loaded the deny.ip file. I tried to ban my own IP, but I can still access the web server. Please solve it

There is only one line written in my deny.ip: deny IP address;

Answer 1

The best configuration is posted for analysis

allow deny is in order, if you

allow 192.168.1.0/24
# ...
deny 192.168.1.5

192.168.1.5is accessible

There is another possible situation. If your server is local, assume the IP is 192.168.1.5
Then you

deny 192.168.1.5

does not affect access via 127.0.0.1 These are two different network interfaces and vice versa
