It's about a month that I see some unknown connections in
-marked in red-:
nethogs
and I tried to understand what program is responsible for them but I failed.
1. I'm not sure but it seems that my Internet connection becomes laggy or lost every time this connections appear
2. They only appear for a short time and as I notice them they are gone.
3. I'm from Iran. Every time these IPs show up, I can only open websites that are inside Iran (I mean the servers are in Iran) and I can't open any other website! That's really strange.
Are these normal connections? If true, what are those for? If false what should I do?

i was trying some of security tips.... i activated UFW and tried some tips from here:
https://www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/how-secure-ubuntu-1204-lts-server-part-1-basics
(activated IP spoofing protection).
Today the Internet problem happened again. I lost my access to non-Iranian servers/sites but the IPs didn't appeared in the NetHogs and the connection problem lasted for several minutes instead of seconds.
I will update this post with more details(if any) hope you can understand the exact situation.
