Hi @menuassist

With that configuration, Nginx should not redirect wildcard subdomains. Are you sure you don’t have another configuration file some place messing with the redirect?
Can you show the wildcard subdomain configuration example?

Also, please use the </> button in the comment editor to save the code formatting.

Normally, to setup Wild Cards, you’d need to have a * A entry in your DNS (pointing to your Droplet IP) and then a Wild Card entry in server_name.

i.e.

A       *       DROPLET_IP

server_name example.com *.example.com;

The above server_name would direct any sub-domain that doesn’t have an existing server block to the block you set it up in.

Your current block shouldn’t technically allow sub-domains to resolve to that server block, unless you do have another server block setup that’s conflicting with the one you’ve posted.
