How to block an IP range? "Screened IPs" not being blocked

Since these are configured in Discourse, I’m pretty sure that the IPs are blocked by Discourse, not NGINX, so they’ll show up in the NGINX logs. It’s Discourse that’s blocking them, not nginx. If you want to block them so that they don’t show up in the NGINX logs you could block them with your firewall.
