\u201cThank you for traveling with Deutsche Bahn\u201d \u2013 if you use Linux, you currently can’t easily get to the tickets that end with the famous announcement. Since the end of last week, reports from affected users have been increasing, stating that they are confronted with error messages on the Deutsche Bahn website that suspect them of being bots and prevent further searching.<\/p>\n

For example, on Reddit, users are reporting this behavior, and a screenshot of the displayed error page can also be found there. The error code 751 is displayed, and the error message in plain text reads: \u201cWe are sorry, an error occurred during this process. Your browser’s behavior resembles that of a bot.\u201d In the specific example, this occurred on Tuesday evening, but colleagues from the editorial team had already fallen victim to this error detection on Friday, May 15th.<\/p>\n

Lockout from the Deutsche Bahn website: Countermeasure possible<\/h3>\n

Anyone who doesn’t necessarily want to spontaneously switch operating systems can help themselves by setting the User Agent in their browser. If you replace \u201cLinux\u201d with \u201cWindows\u201d there, you will get access again and can search for and book a connection on the railway website. The counter-test reveals a lot. If you give a Firefox under Windows 11 a Linux identifier, the behavior also occurs under Windows. Support may suggest switching to Chrome, but even there: lockout if \u201cLinux\u201d is included in the User-Agent, the tip doesn’t help. This can even be provoked with Safari under macOS.<\/p>\n

If you want to try it yourself, calling up \u201cabout:config,\u201d clicking on \u201caccept the risk\u201d in Firefox, and then searching for \u201cgeneral.useragent.override\u201d will bring up the corresponding entry, which can be set as a string by clicking the \u201c+\u201d button. To reset, interested parties need to search for the entry again and delete the change by clicking the trash can icon.<\/p>\n
