I implemented something similar as a caddy module, then I realized that if I was connected to a public wifi network I was actually authorizing the whole bunch of people that were connected to it with me. How do you avoid this, or is it just not important?

It shouldn't be your only layer of security, and then it's not important. Think of it as replacing explicit IP black/whitelisting - you still want a login wall or something, but now you restrict access to guess logins or otherwise obtain access through app vulnerabilities etc.
