How to restrict the server login Prompt and redirect to home page of application

Question

I have one internet publishing SharePoint Site. How to restrict the server login Prompt and redirect to home page of application

For example i have my site:

https://*****/products/pages/default.aspx when I remove default.aspx from above URL in browser it shows authentication for user ,here what I required instead of show login prompt how to redirect to home page of site.

My requirement is login prompt should not show to anonymous users and also anonymous users should not view any pages library and _layouts folder pages.

Here just i want to redirect to home page instead of showing login prompt because this site is published to internet and for security reasons (possibility to brute-force-attack for example) we don't want to show login prompt to users

If you want users to be redirected to the home page of the site without a login prompt, as a workaround, you could enable Anonymous Access for the site.

For detailed steps, please refer to:

Per my test, please deactivate "Limited-access user permission lockdown mode" site collection feature to make anonymous users could access pages library.

Currently, when you type the url like:https://mywebsite/products/pages/, there will be no login prompt.
