You are almost on the right track. You can modify your '.htaccess' file by adding 'ErrorDocument 403 /redirect.php' -

APACHE

ErrorDocument 403 /redirect.php

SetEnvIf CF-Connecting-IP "^103\.111\.227\.224$" ALLOWED_IP=1
SetEnvIf CF-Connecting-IP "^146\.70\.102\.166$" ALLOWED_IP=2
Require env ALLOWED_IP

<IfModule dir_module>
    DirectoryIndex admin.php 
    DirectoryIndex restricted.php
</IfModule>

Create a new file named 'redirect.php' in the same directory as your '.htaccess' file -

PHP

<?php
// When landing on your restricted page, run...
// redirect.php

//Redirect your user to the unrestricted page...
header("Location: /unrestricted.php");
exit();
?>

This way, when your user tries to access a restricted page and encounters a 403 error, they will be redirected to your unrestricted page defined in your 'redirect.php' script.
