server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example.com;

    location /old-url {
        proxy_pass http://new-url;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

        proxy_redirect http://new-url https://example.com;

        error_page 301 302 = @permanently-redirect;
    }

    location @permanently-redirect {
        return 301 https://example.com/new-url;
    }
}

In this configuration:

• Replace example.com with your own domain name.
• Replace /old-url with the original URL you want to redirect.
• Replace http://new-url with the target URL you want to redirect to.
• Ensure you have the necessary proxy headers set for proper proxying.
• Use the proxy_redirect directive to specify the URL redirections.
• Use error_page to handle the redirection with status codes 301 or 302.
• Use the location @permanently-redirect block to specify a permanent redirect to the new URL.
