Question
How to block access using the Server IP in NGINX?

Greetings community!
I have configured a domain in my DO instance, all very well, the problem lies in being able to access the site using the IP of the Server and I really do not want that, I wish that only the site can be accessed through the domain, what type of configuration requires NGINX? or if it is not NGINX, where can I make this configuration?
Beforehand thank you very much.

You can add this server block to your configuration.
server {
listen 80 default_server;
server_name "";
return 444;
}
You need to specify “default_server” parameter so that all non available server requests goes to this server block which throws 444 error. The “default_server” parameter cannot be present in any other server block.
444 : CONNECTION CLOSED WITHOUT RESPONSE
