I had a look at what was caught for you and it was just 9 packets,
split between source port 443 and source port 53. Probably just
scans.

So I wouldn't be too concerned.

You will definitely not be able to send packets from an IP address
you have removed¹. ;)

# tcpdump -vpni eth0 'src net 212.13.194.0/23 and not arp'

will show you any traffic going in or out of your eth0 that has a
source address inside 212.13.194.0/23 and is not ARP traffic.

Cheers,
Andy

¹ OK yeah barring some crafty thing you do to generate such traffic.
