For security reasons you should only allow incoming traffic from Google Load Balancer on your backend instances. To do so, when making a GCE firewall rule, just set the Source IP ranges to these GCE IPv4 ranges: 130.211.0.0/22 35.191.0.0/16130.211.0.0/22 35.191.0.0/16 Read more here: Google Cloud Load Balancer Firewall Rules Tuning NGINX behind Google Cloud Platform […]
