Manage Maintenance mode by IP with Varnish

[franckgarnier21]

Feedback on page: /guides/v2.1/install-gde/install/cli/install-cli-subcommands-maint.html

How can we activate Maintenance mode by IPs working with Varnish ?

First I update the nginx configuration in order to retrieve the real customer IP 👍
set_real_ip_from 127.0.0.1; #Put the Ip of your varnish/proxy here
real_ip_header X-Forwarded-For; #Put the Header that your varnish/proxy set

But how can I manage the page which is already cached by Varnish and then is not retrieved by Nginx.

It can be an issue if the site is open for a specific IP, then varnish cache these pages, then other IPs will be able to see these pages.

Many thanks.
