Ngx_cache_purge is old, not maintained any more for a long, long time,
and not working correctly with the latest Nginx without patch.

I think it's a good idea to switch to:
https://github.com/nginx-modules/ngx_cache_purge

It is a branch copy, maintained with bug fixes and patches and works out of the box with the latest Nginx version.

 

Great!
ngx_cache_purge version 2.4.2 is nice and a lot new still coming:
