That will be someone probing the site and or a bot, simple way would be to add crowdsec to the server and that will help protect it

For the last week we have been getting hit on average about every 3 seconds by a
machine that appears to be in Panama.  There should be no reason why this
machine would want to connect to us.

While it doesn't appear to be causing us any harm I am wondering why someone

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
