Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

Uniongang.net server has the code that will ban anyone using Prowlarr silently and instantly. They check for the user agent.

Describe the solution you'd like

Either remove the indexer or add an option to specify a custom user agent (either globally or per indexer).

Describe alternatives you've considered

Proxy to substitute the user agent.

Anything else?

Nope.

Jackett too or only prowlarr?

@bakerboy448 I've been told that at this moment they have the following filter:

if (preg_match("/(AportWorm|Prowlarr\/1)/is", $agent)) $updateset2[] = "enabled = 'no'";

I guess it can be updated at any moment to include the agents they don't want and it may include Jackett in the future.

Any particular reason they ban prowlarr and not Jackett?

Seems likely they don't know what Prowlarr does given they allow Jackett? And given that the other banned UA is a known scraper

I have no idea, I was experimenting with Prowlarr, and my 15-year-old account got banned. I contacted admins, they restored the account, then it got banned again. I contacted them again asking for the reason, and they provided this information.
