Varnish 3 – Block ip addresses
312 years ago
by Pieter Vogelaar
in Ubuntu
To block ip addresses with Varnish edit the following file:
sudo nano /etc/varnish/default.vcl
And add the following. Of course replace the example ip addresses with the real ips you want to block.
acl forbidden {
"111.11.111.111";
"123.12.123.123";
"456.123.12.72";
}
sub vcl_recv {
# Block access from these ips
if (client.ip ~ forbidden) {
error 403 "Forbidden";
}
}
After editing, execute:
sudo service varnish restart

Step 1: Install latest version of Varnish (3.0)
These first three lines are probably not required on Ubuntu 12.04 because the main repository already contains version 3, but you can use it anyhow. Older version of Ubuntu do need it though!
curl http://repo.varnish-cache.org/debian/GPG-key.txt | sudo apt-key add - echo "deb http://repo.varnish-cache.org/ubuntu/ lucid varnish-3.0" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install varnish
Step 2: Set backend server (Apache)
Edit the varnish configuration file.
sudo nano /etc/varnish/default.vcl
Set the backend server. The lines below say that the backend server (Apache) is available More >
