Strange incoming behaviour on port 80

Posted on November 1, 2017

I have installed my 5th droplet yesterday. I used Django on Nginx and Gunicorn (as usual). I also set up ufw according to DO tutorial.

As long as my site was up, I noticed strange incoming behaviour at port 80. This is a cut from the django’s log file I keep.

Whenever I disallow traffic to port 80 and allow to some other port (e.g. 88) I stop getting this kind of traffic. Strangely when I “ping extras.tv24.co” I get my Server’s IP.
