Description
To "block" banned IPs in userspace, the TCP connection must be established first, wasting time and resources.
It would be better to use a eBPF script, possibly via RedBPF or similar, with some map type that can be updated as the block list changes.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. First investigate the server's current userspace IP-blocking path and evaluate RedBPF or a similar eBPF option, including how a map could receive block-list updates; done would mean a workable design for blocking connections before they are established.
