"Amiga" :) My father had an Amiga 500 computer, my first "experience" with a computer :-)

Amiga (Sp.) = Friendly

Yup, Amiga was a family of personal computers sold by Commodore in the 1980s and 1990s.

Yes, I know, I live in Spain :) , but in that case, this UA is refering to the Amiga computers, since MorphOS is the name of the operating system which Amiga computers are running nowadays (yes, they still exist, and there is still a community of users, which are continuing to make the Amiga live).

It would be *friendlier* if the UA string included a link pointing to a page that explains who they are & why they are collecting data.

Normally AmigaVoyager, is the Web browser available on Amiga computers. (Like IE/Edge for Windows). So it's not supposedly a bot. But it can spoofed UA.

Good to know, thanks for that info. This however was a bot.

Added - if any web browser is being run from a server farm (i.e. colocrossing.com in this case) they run the high risk of being blocked due to the neighborhood from which they came. If run directly from a server, by any UA, they will likely be blocked, likewise if the UA is fake.
