Closed solaceten closed 8 months ago

Hello

Thanks for your superb work. Ran into some bother with the latest user agent list...

Removal Request

Mozilla/5.0+(compatible; UptimeRobot/2.0; http://www.uptimerobot.com/)

Appears to be getting caught under oBot. As soon as I added it, my sites all registered as down, then I commented oBot and they all came back up again!

I've just tested for oBot. Seems like you are right.

Hi @solaceten and @idflorin it seems word boundaries are probably causing this.

Atomseobot
Discobot
Foobot

and a few others, I will test with obot in the whitelist.
