Be on the lookout for shady connections

Not sure what this is about, but I guess I have to add it to my list of monitoring parameters

always followed by:
WARNING Invalid handshake with peer. Maybe the peer is running old software.

The IP traces back to a Ukraine ISP. quickly checked and 8444 is closed on this host and seems to silently drop incoming traffic. I may be being paranoid, but I'm blocking this entire subnet in my firewall.

Chia client should automatically ban these after a couple attempts. I think this activity looks reasonably suspicious to me.

there is the possibility that it is a misconfigured client from a forked project
