Hello,

The site has geoip redirection to subdomains using country codes, before  
we only needed to exclude a directory from redirection but now my client  
is asking me to exclude himself from it, how can I do this ?

Please note that his ip is dynamic, thanks for any help.

Just an update, I used a custom user-agent to disable redirect for the  
client, there is a plugin for firefox that allows to use custom  
user-agents so he selects it and redirection stops, a simple if  
statement in nginx config is applied for this purpose.

Hi,

If your only data is a dynamic IP, then i guess you’d have to rely on  
the user agent. You might be able to replace that if-statement, what  
are you using?

Cheers,
