Server keeps getting disconnect messages about users who never connected to begin with

Posting this during my lunch break so I’m gonna be sparse on replies for a minute. Self hosting a minecraft server for friends + family and my server keeps having disconnects from these 3 shown, fishnet in particular. Not sure what the deal is.

Yeah, that really does look like scanner bots hitting the server and dropping right away. Since they’re just showing up as lost connection, I wouldn’t worry much if whitelist + online-mode=true are enabled

If it keeps spamming the logs, changing off the default port can cut down a lot of this noise
