I can't create an error code 404, I only get 302 (message: Found)

I followed along with the code in this video and I'm trying to recreate an error code 404 (Not Found). The only code I get when I input a username that does not exist is code 302 (Found). If I change other parts of the address (besides https), I usually get 302, but sometimes I get code 401 (Unauthorized). Is it normal to get a code 302?

The website automatically redirects you to the home page if the requested page is not found. A 300 status code shows a connection was made but not at the requested location, or something like that.
