Well, apparently I was wrong.

I am still having the redirect loop issue, but only on some of my devices, and some browsers. I am completely unsure what is happening now, and could use help from someone with good experience with nginx.

I should also mention the website is behind cloudflare, which may have a factor in this issue, or could be the issue itself, unsure.

Edit: I disabled routing through cloudflare, and it appears to have resolved my issue, so take note, if you have a redirect issue using when using cloudflare, try disabling the routing for a bit of time and see if it fixes it. If you can’t disable that, then try changing your DNS to your server manually via hosts file.
