Hi

I'm running into a problem where requests for 403, get caught in a redirect loop and eventually fail with a 500 response.
I want to return custom 403 page for requests from germany.

###Config###


pid /var/run/nginx/nginx.pid;
user nginx nginx;
worker_processes 4;
worker_rlimit_nofile 30000;

events {
worker_connections 4028;
use epoll;
}


http {

geoip_country /usr/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat;

geo $Default {
default 0;
#skip this ip from getting 403
12.32.32.32 1;
}

## Size Limits

## Timeouts
client_body_timeout 60;

upstream www.abcd.com {
server www.abcd.com:443 ;
}
server {
listen 12.23.34.45:80;
server_name www.abcd.com;
access_log /var/log/nginx/www.abcd.com/access.log main;
error_log /var/log/nginx/www.abcd.com/error.log;

if ($geoip_country_code = 'DE' ) {
set $value "${Default}I";
}

if ($value = 0I){
return 403;
}

error_page 403 /e403.html;
location /e403.html {
root /var/www/html/maintenance;
internal;
}


## PROXY - Web
location / {
rewrite ^(.*) https://www.abcd.com$1 permanent;
}

# redirect server error pages to the static page /50x.html
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
root html;
}
}
