Not sure if NGINX is the correct place to do this. I would suggest you use a docker stack with NGINX UI and install a Fail2Ban on your local system. This will block any traffic before it's even reaching any of your services. I highly recommend this. Doing it inside NGINX UI feels wrong and would not give you that flexibility you would need as a sysadmin.
