Restricting access by public IP blocking remote content

As the subject states when I restrict access to a subdirectory via IP,
remote content like Google fonts, and Favicons are blocked.

This of course makes sense, but without adding those hostnames to my
admin-ip's file I use to allow IP's (explained below), can remote content
like this be allowed by the actual web traffic I'm attempting to restrict to
my VPN IP be filtered?

/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default:

	location /billingadmin {
		include includes/admin-ips;
		deny all;
	}		

/etc/nginx/includes/admin-ips:

#LAN
allow XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX;

#VPN
allow XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX;
allow XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX;
