NGINX Short Solve:

You can use either:

• Example 1 (should work)

    location = /admin.php {
        deny all;
        allow 10.0.0.0/8; }

• Example 2 (I'm unsure if it's the proper one for this case)

location ~* admin.php {
        deny all;
        allow 10.0.0.0/8; } 

• Example 3 Combined with Basic-Auth

    location = /admin.php {
        deny all;
        allow 10.0.0.0/8; }
        auth_basic              "restricted area";
        auth_basic_user_file    /etc/nginx/htpw/.htpasswd;

• Example 4 Basic-Auth only.

    location = /admin.php {
        auth_basic              "restricted area";
        auth_basic_user_file    /etc/nginx/htpw/.htpasswd;

Remind that your Browser-Cache can tricky yourself if it's not working directly (if you didn't forgot to reload nginx, of course.)
