Describe the problem you are experiencing
The instructions for globalblaclist.conf state:
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# You can over-ride these in /usr/local/nginx/bots.d/blacklist-user-agents.conf
# by adding the same UA line there and chaning its value of 1
# If you think GoogleBot is bad you would simply add them to
# blacklist-user-agents.conf with a value of 1
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------

spaces are substituted with underscores? "~*(?:\b)5.0 zgrab(?:\b)" becomes "~*(?:\b)5\.0_zgrab(?:\b)"hyphens are escaped with \? "~*(?:\b)AdsBot-Google(?:\b)" becomes "~*(?:\b)AdsBot\-Google(?:\b)"periods are escaped with \ (see example 1)
