Blocking one IP address - At the end of the rules set
The below rules, add a deny rule at the end of the ufw numbered rules.
root@host02:~# ufw deny from 185.130.5.180 Rule added root@host02:~# ufw deny from 185.130.5.209 Rule added
But the IP addresses were not blocked because there was a precedent rule allowing all traffic to port 80 (rule #4):

This can be done removing the Allow 80 and 443 rules and adding them again, but a better solution is the below, insert the new rule in the right position:
Blocking one IP address - Inserting rule in a specific position / order
The below command insert a new rule in a specific position.
