How to hide restricted nginx subdomains?

in flag

To hide a restricted location, e.g.

location /secret/ {
 allow 10.0.0.0/24;
 deny all;
}

one could set

error_page 403 =404 /404.html;
error_page 404 /404.html;

to make impossible to distinguish a non-existing location (404) from a restricted one (403).

Is there a way to perform a similar spoof for subdomains?

I want https://admin.example.org/ to not NOT return 403 if not visited via VPN, but rather show the same of https://nonexistingsubdomain.example.org/ (e.g. a 301 redirect to https://example.org/)

I think you need to specify the `server` URL with the subdomains simply to achieve this. There might a better way though.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
