Question access control

Server NGINX
1

Hello,
I am trying to use access control to limit access from limited IP range.

I test 127.0.0.1 first, with config

  server {
      listen       80;
      server_name  localhost;

      location / {

          deny all;

       }
   }

However, when I test in browser with 127.0.0.1, I can still see
index.html page.

Did I do something wrong?

Sure.

It’s up to you to find out what exactly, possible causes include:

  1. You are testing your browser cache, not nginx.

  2. You’ve failed to configure virtual hosts properly and testing
    wrong virtual host.

  3. You’ve forgot to reload configuration and/or it wasn’t reloaded
    due to errors in config.

Hi Maxim,
Thank you!
I find out the browser cache causes the problem.
