Allow access to your stuff from a U.S. IP or a local IP (you know, for a load balancer or something) in Nginx

gistfile1.nginxconf

geoip_country /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat;

map $geoip_country_code $allowed_country {
    default no;
    US yes;
}

geo $inNet {
    default no;
    10.0.0.0/8 yes;
}

# Keep in mind that Nginx doesn't allow compound or nested IF statements (http://wiki.nginx.org/IfIsEvil)
server {
    if ($inNet = no) {
        set $allowed N;
    }

    if ($allowed_country = no) {
        set $allowed "${allowed}N";
    }

    if ($allowed = NN) {
         return 444;
    }
    
    # Go ahead and serve at this point
}
