I've got a server with nginx and a wordpress website running on it.<br>
<br>
On the web-site, I have a wordpress page, i.e. <a href="http://domain.com/secret-page/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">domain.com/secret-page/</a>, that<br>
I want to restrict access to everybody but 1 specific IP address of my other<br>
server.<br>
<br>
As this page is not a real physical directory, but just a friendly URL - I<br>
got stuck. I don't have previous experience configuring nginx, but I tried<br>
hard to google the possible solution.<br>
<br>
What I tried so far in my website config:<br>
[code]<br>
location ~* ^/secret-page/ {<br>
allow 1.1.1.1;<br>
deny all;<br>
}<br>
[/code]<br>
<br>
But this didn't work. It returns 404 error when I try to open this page from<br>
allowed IP. Looks like it tried to find the real file or directory<br>
/secret-page/ rather than return a friendly URL page if I got it right.<br>
<br>
Can you help me please?<br>
