Deny open a folder from browser

Help
1

I want use this code to block access to folders from the browser. However, It blocks also access of the CMS to some folders. How can I allow CMS to work normally and allow access it to these folders, but block access from the browser (when someone would paste direct URL to the folder)?

 respond /forbidden "Access denied" 403 {
        close
        }
 # deny all access to these folders
        @denied_folders {
        path_regexp /(\.github|cache|bin|logs|backup.*|test.*|content|core|image.*|js|css|php|config|lib|assets|rel|priv|tracker)/.*$
        }
        rewrite @denied_folders /forbidden

Please fill out the template without redaction. It’s helpful to see the context in which the directives are used.

It’s probably unnecessary to rewrite before responding. You probably only need to do this:

@denied path_regexp /(\.github|cache|bin|logs|backup.*|test.*|content|core|image.*|js|css|php|config|lib|assets|rel|priv|tracker)/.*$
respond @denied "Access denied" 403

But yeah, please fill out the help thread template.
