UA: Grover/Grover-1.18 (Web Crawler)
Robots: yes
IP: 165.227.125.xxx

New this month, single hits weeks apart, apparently from Digital Ocean (a proxy server?).

Anyone know what it's for?

Oh, are they back? I saw them several times in August on one site, and once on another site in September.

Protocol: HTTP/1.0 (but no other grounds for 403)
Via: 1.1 tinyproxy (tinyproxy/1.10.0)

IPs: 134.209.115 (August)
165.227.125 (September)

For reasons that aren’t clear to me, the September visit requested only robots.txt, while the August visits also requested / root.

As a guitar player Grover means something else. Still don't know what Grover/Grover-1.18 actually does. Then again, most crawlers/bots don't make a lot of sense.
