I don't understand what you are reporting there. Can you give one
specific example?

It looks like you are saying that when you intentionally block access to
/billingadmin, you also accidentally block access to /favicon.ico and
to totally unrelated urls like https://fonts.google.com/. That seems
very strange to me, so I suspect that I am missing something.

Maybe it is clear to someone else, what you mean by this. If so, perhaps
they will respond.

But it might be helpful if you can rephrase your question, perhaps
including an example request that does not get the response that you
expect (and including the relevant nginx config).

Good luck,
