If list of IP to block is really big, then better to use geo module instead
allow/deny: http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_geo_module.html

geo $denyed_host {
default 1;
include /tmp/iplist.txt;
}

....

if ($denyed_host) {
return 403;
}

iplist.txt should contain lines like:

192.168.1.0/24 0;
192.168.1.1/32 1;

After update of /tmp/iplist.txt you should reconfigure nginx (e. g. run nginx -s
reload).
