"Directory listings" is presumably only relevant when the request url
ends in /.

So if you have "autoindex on", then all you need to do is disallow some
IP addresses from accessing those urls.

Replace the allow/deny part with

    location ~ /$ {
        allow 1.1.1.1;
        deny all;
    }

and it should do what you want.

The end result is: request ends in / --> check the allow list; otherwise,
allow as normal.
