Interesting problem - seeing a bot attack on a website, so I banned that
IP:

#ufw status verbose
Status: active
Logging: off
Default: deny (incoming), allow (outgoing), disabled (routed)
New profiles: skip

To                         Action      From
--                         ------      ----
80/tcp                     ALLOW IN    Anywhere
443/tcp                    ALLOW IN    Anywhere
2206                       ALLOW IN    Anywhere
Anywhere                   DENY IN     100.21.24.205

So, .. how come that IP is still posting traffic in the site logs three
minutes AFTER it was denied?

52.25.208.208 - - [25/Sep/2023:18:20:14 +0000] "GET ... 200 33537 "-" "TinyTestBot"

	TIA!
