Deny Pages Plugin

Type: Domain Plugin Runs: Once for each discovered domain/host

Overview

The Deny Pages plugin blocks access to specific paths for a domain, returning a configurable HTTP status code.

Why Use It

Protect admin panels, internal APIs, or debugging endpoints from public access.

Configuration Options

Option Description Default
enabled Enable/disable plugin true
paths Comma-separated list of paths to block (required)
status_code HTTP status code to return 403

Configuration Examples

Docker/Docker Compose (Basic)

services:
  webapp:
    labels:
      easyhaproxy.http.host: example.com
      easyhaproxy.http.plugins: deny_pages
      easyhaproxy.http.plugin.deny_pages.paths: /admin,/private,/debug
      easyhaproxy.http.plugin.deny_pages.status_code: 404

WordPress Protection

labels:
  easyhaproxy.http.host: wordpress.example.com
  easyhaproxy.http.plugins: deny_pages
  easyhaproxy.http.plugin.deny_pages.paths: /wp-admin,/wp-login.php,/.env
  easyhaproxy.http.plugin.deny_pages.status_code: 404

Static YAML Configuration

# /etc/haproxy/static/config.yaml
easymapping:
  - host: example.com
    port: 80
    container: webapp:80
    plugins:
      - deny_pages
    plugin_config:
      deny_pages:
        paths: /admin,/private,/debug
        status_code: 403

Multiple Plugins (with Cloudflare)

labels:
  easyhaproxy.http.host: secure-app.com
  easyhaproxy.http.plugins: cloudflare,deny_pages
  easyhaproxy.http.plugin.deny_pages.paths: /admin,/config
  easyhaproxy.http.plugin.deny_pages.status_code: 403

Generated HAProxy Configuration

# Deny Pages - Block specific paths
acl denied_path path_beg /admin /private /debug
http-request deny deny_status 404 if denied_path

Important Notes

  • The plugin runs once per domain during the discovery cycle
  • Path matching uses path_beg (prefix matching), so /admin blocks /admin/* too
  • Consider using 404 instead of 403 to hide the existence of blocked paths
  • Works well in combination with other security plugins
