 Hallo :)
 As I indicated on the support forums, for a timely solution, you may want
 to consider hiring a developer to create a custom plugin, if this is
 important to you.

 In terms of this Trac ticket:

 **The issue:**
 Paginated pages with no entries display the original post.
 Here is an example: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-
 infinite-link-problem/page/12345/

 **The proposed solution:**
 When a permalink is evaluated for a paginated URL, it should check if the
 particular page "exists" (contains entries).
 If not, the visitor should be redirected to the original post's URL.
