All of a sudden my browser starts telling me the page isn't working and poal.co didn't send any data. No matter if I try another browser. Still the same result. Any idea what's going on?

Well, you might wanna check with your VPN app and see if you can change the DNS servers (could be a DNS block on their side).

I've noticed Poal is very picky about User-Agent. You can get blocked by a single request if the User-Agent isn't exactly right. So my guess is this guy does not have the preferred pronouns in his User-Agent string (or Poal is perhaps a little too picky about that).

That's incorrect. Poal doesn't care about User-Agent from real browsers. Unless you're using a scrapper/spider/bot and try to data-mine.

I get blocked consistently on Chrome unless I modify the UA. But I am not using the latest browser version. Maybe there is a minimum version requirement. Don't know, but I had to spoof my UA, otherwise I always get blocked. Never did any data mining. Very weird.

Example. This one gets me instantly banned:
