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?

Can't see how that could have an effect as I'm using a VPN and routing through different countries makes no difference.

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.
