Stop users accessing website via IP address

[Stephen Wood]

Hello, Puneet. You'll need to do the blocking on the sub vcl_recv and not
sub vcl_error.

Here's an easy VCL config example:

acl forbidden {
  "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx";
  "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx";
}

sub vcl_recv {
  # Prevent access from these hosts
  if (client.ip ~ forbidden) {
    error 403 "Forbidden";
  }
}

Let me know if you have any other questions.
