Deutsche Bahn's booking website (bahn.de) was blocking Linux users due to its bot-detection system flagging the word 'Linux' in the User-Agent string. Testing by heise online confirmed that any browser sending a Linux User-Agent — even on Windows or macOS — triggered error 751. DB responded saying the blocks were unintentional, attributing them to overzealous traffic analysis, and the issue appears to have been resolved, though occasional false positives may still occur.
