I have Ubuntu 18 on my vps with ufw enabled, i tried to block the ip adress from the netstat log but it is still accessing my site like the following : root@Waseely:~# netstat -c | grep 3000 tcp6 0 0 142.93.23.138:3000 crawl-66-249-64-3:57123 ESTABLISHED tcp6 0 0 142.93.23.138:3000 crawl-66-249-64-3:38822 ESTABLISHED tcp6 0 0 142.93.23.138:3000 crawl-66-249-64-3:36797 ESTABLISHED tcp6 0 0 142.93.23.138:3000 crawl-66-249-64-3:57123 ESTABLISHED tcp6 0 0 142.93.23.138:3000 crawl-66-249-64-3:38822 ESTABLISHED tcp6 0 0 142.93.23.138:3000 crawl-66-249-64-3:36797 ESTABLISHED tcp6 0 0 142.93.23.138:3000 crawl-66-249-64-3:57123 ESTABLISHED tcp6 0 0 142.93.23.138:3000 crawl-66-249-64-3:38822 ESTABLISHED tcp6 0 0 142.93.23.138:3000 crawl-66-249-64-3:57123 ESTABLISHED tcp6 0 0 142.93.23.138:3000 crawl-66-249-64-3:38822 TIME_WAIT tcp6 0 0 142.93.23.138:3000 crawl-66-249-64-3:46276 ESTABLISHED
