Besides auth request or some lua module depending on the complexity of the acl you could just use crontab for that:
- in nginx.conf in particular site/server block add: include deny.conf; (each site can have its own config)
- in crontab at 17pm do: echo 'deny all;' > deny.conf; nginx -s reload
- at 8am: echo '' > deny.conf; nginx -s reload
(or if the rules are more complex you can just write those down in a pre-made file and then in the crontab just swap those and do a reload)
