php - Would like to bypass CDN domain via HTACCESS. Need assistance for rewriting rules

I have been searching the internet for some hours and tried different solutions, but i gave up. Now trying specific here.

I am running a server for a WordPress site (Litespeed enterprise, CentOS 7) I am trying to achieve a rewrite rule in htaccess for bypassing the CDN for local visitors. e.x all static files in WP goes trough cdn.example.com (CNAME for another record at CDN provider) Now i want 1 specific country to NOT retrieve files from "https://cdn.example.com" (static files) but instead directly via origin https://example.com

I am using geoIP module for detecting users from a specific country - which works great (tested) But how can I rewrite inside WP the URLs to go trough https://example.com instead? The CDN mapping is done inside WP via Litespeed cache plugin, and it has changed all the URLs to CDN.example.com which is perfect for all non-local users, but i would like to make an exception for local users in our country, since CDN has no POP and it doesnt make a sense to route traffic to another country.

I tried this code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{ENV:GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODE} ^(BE)$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^https://cdn.example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Copy code

What am I doing wrong? Is that even correct and a valid approach?

Looking forward to hear from you :) Thanks so much
