Hi,

I have installed that android app and requested log against my ip is
following :

39.49.52.224 - - [15/Mar/2015:10:40:26 +0500] "GET
/files/thumbs/2015/03/14/1426310448973c5-1.jpg HTTP/1.1" 200 13096 "-"
"Dalvik/1.6.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.2.2; GT-S7582 Build/JDQ39)"

where 39.49.52.224 is ip of my modem.

I have also tried blocking specific user agent such as Android but neither
it worked (sure i am doing something wrong) nor this is the correct
solution :

if ($http_user_agent ~* "Linux;Android 4.2.2") {
return 403;
}


Thanks.
Shahzaib
