Hi Team,

My website is at https://www.example.com and I have a CMS Panel at
https://www.example.com/administrator -> 301 -> https://www.example.com/administrator/ -> 302 https://www.example.com/administrator/Login.aspx?Session=Out

And I am trying to restrict the access to /administrator but this is not working - Can someone please help?

location ~*/administrator {
allow 10.0.0.0/8;
deny all;
# return 403;
# error_page 404 403 = /custom_404.html;
}

here are the logs
