I currently have my nginx.conf file for my DigitalOcean app as follows
server {
allow <my public ip>
deny all;
...website config
}
However I still get a 403 forbidden when accessing my website, and looking at the logs in “Runtime logs” it looks to be picking up a completely different IP address, in the same range as the app’s local IP when running ifconfig. Is this going through some kind of proxy, and if so how do I allow access for public IP addresses?

Heya,
This can happen if your request is passing through a proxy or if the IP you’re using is not the one expected by the Nginx configuration.
To allow access for public IP addresses, you can try these steps:
- Replace your
allowanddenylines with:
- allow all;
- Restart your Nginx service to apply the changes:
- sudo systemctl restart nginx
Make sure you understand the security implications of doing this, as this configuration will allow traffic from any IP address.
If you still face issues, don’t hesitate to explore the DigitalOcean documentation or seek assistance from the support team.
Hope that this helps!
