Load balancing ISPs without double NAT

I configures my TP-Links ER605 multi-wans router to load balance between my two ISPs (that is working). But since my Web/NAS server is behind my router on the 192.168.2.0 network, any computers on 192.168.0.0 and 192.168.1.0 can't access the NAS or Web server directly.

How to block .git Folder serverwide on NGINX?

I have a question about blocking the .git folders server wide on a NGINX system. At the moment I'm playing around a little with NGINX, I actually use Apache. In Apache, it's actually no problem to block all requests to a .git folder server wide. Is there any setting for NGINX as well? If so, where do I need to put it, or do I have to do that with every site hosted on the server?
