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.
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:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/86.0.4240.198 Safari/537.36 QIHU 360EE
That's the UA used by Chinese scrappers.
