Am I a target?

I keep getting traffic from the same server. It's a Hetzner Online server (supposedly) which has geodata linking it to the UAE. I've blocked the traffic, but I'm getting hella suspicious. Anyway I've been live monitoring all my traffic and I'm blocking anything that I think is even the tiniest bit sus.I'm not really thrilled...

Anyway I’ve been live monitoring all my traffic and I’m blocking anything that I think is even the tiniest bit sus.

I’m not really thrilled to be blocking a hetzner IP, since there’s so many mastodon servers hosted on hetzner IPs, but like if y’all can’t fucking behave you’re not welcome at the party.

Love the rest of you,
Nora
