Typically it means you've configured your firewall correctly. Shodan continuously crawls the Internet so it's not based on user requesting scans. The IPv4 space is fairly small so Shodan just checks every IP (3+ billion) to find the services that run on it. Your activity/ use of Shodan doesn't affect how Shodan crawls the Internet - unless you request a scan using the API/ CLI. For more information: https://help.shodan.io/the-basics/what-is-shodan
