I would add return 444; to the configuration (to prevent nginx from returning the 403 Response):

The complete configuration would be:

server {
    listen 80 default_server;
    listen [::]:80 default_server;
    server_name _;
    deny all;
    return 444;
}

That way the server closes the connection and it's as if there were no server at all. (The IPv6 part is just for completeness).
