Answer 1

Create new middleware

app = $app;

        $this->request = $request;

    }



    /**

     * Handle an incoming request.

     *

     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request

     * @param  \Closure  $next

     * @return mixed

     */



    public function handle($request, Closure $next)

    {

        if ($this->app->isDownForMaintenance() &&

            !in_array($this->request->getClientIp(), ['::1']))

        {

            throw new HttpException(503);

        }



        return $next($request);

    }

}

The '::1' is your own IP assuming your in localhost, if not the specify your IP. You can excluded multiple IP in the array. check Excluding your IP Address in Maintenance Mode (php artisan down) in Laravel 5
