All the subnet addresses are not banned and shows error when adding any subnet, other IPs without the subnet format are added successfully : "

2024-12-08 22:08:06.735 E Invalid IP address or IPv4 subnet: 91.198.115.0/24

These IPs account for more than half the problem and do not seem to be banned properly by the ban list.

If the subnet format does not work we could enumerate the subnet and have each individual IP from that subnet on the list as a workaround.

All I modified was the subnets, expanding them into individual IPs to be banned properly.
