I have spent the last 2 days going over a lot of questions like this but I can't seem to understand what I am doing wrong or if for some reason my case is just different.
So yes I know this is a common question but I feel I have exhausted all other options before posting this question.
I have a site "mysite.duckdns.org" fake site, but it is good for the point of this explanation.
I also have a data keeping site " data.mysite.duckdns.org"
I am using Duck DNS a free DNS service if that makes a difference, I don't see why it would though.
My problem is when I load a page besides my home page everything works, say "mysite.duckdns.org/contact" that loads fine.
When I load the site with the public IP address the page loads fine to the home page say 111.111.111.111 ( again not the real public IP but it works when I enter the correct one )
But when I try and just enter in the site URL "mysite.duckdns.org" I get an error when my browser says there are too many redirects.
I have a feeling it has to do with when I convert from http to https but I have tryed all the combinations of www / http / https that I can and I still come up with the same error.
I have tried flushing my DNS as well.
Any pointers would be of great help as I am slowly going crazy here looking at the same code.
My data site works fine, redirects to HTTPS and works with the correct URL I gave it.
My nginx site site-avalibale code is as follows :
'''
