nginx - disable access via IP

Question

I want to redirect to 444 when someone uses the IP address. Most online says to use the underscore to catch all but I currently have a block that uses that to redirect http to https:

 listen 80; listen 443 ssl; server_name _; ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/nginx.crt; ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/nginx.key; return 301 https://$host$request_uri; }

What's the best way to include both without having to use a If statement?

There are two ways to go about this, it can be specified in a server block (what you've given), or you can use a location directive. — EternalHour

The underscore is deprecated and effectively does nothing. You are looking for default_server on the listen directive. See this document. — Richard Smith

Why not use the solution with an if-statement?

 if ($http_host != "example.com") { return 444; }
