Foreign access question.

No need for that ip/bot to crawl your site.

Probably not, although that specific IP is in the US although the current owner is in Brazil.

From 2017:

Getnet was a startup with the fastest technology on the market and quickly became the third largest payment processor in Brazil threatening large consolidated companies. It was recently acquired by Santander, increasing their growth potential even more.
