Techteam.gr does not work from abroad?

Quite strangely I try to con­nect to http://​www.​techteam.gr/ from abroad (UK) and I cannot. The result I get is sim­ilar to block­ing someone using a fire­wall.
How­ever, when con­nect­ing from inside Greece, it simply works.

Techteam.gr, why does this happen?
Update (Jun 07): Appar­ently there is still some block­ing at some times during the day.

  1. Hello simos,

    last weeks we had some large attacks from people from UK and some other coun­tries and this had as a result the block of spe­cific IP ranges, that belong to for­eign ISPs. Usu­ally the people that con­nect to Techteam.gr out­side Greece is less than 0.5% of the total vis­it­ors, but that this small per­cent­age cause a server load 1200% higher than the total vis­it­ors from Greece (99,5% of the vis­it­ors). It is obvi­ously an attack.

    As soon as the attacks stop, access from the blocked IP ranges will be normal again.

  2. Thanks for the reply.

    I hope the prob­lem gets solved soon.

  3. the same, i think, is hap­pen­ing right now

  4. Sadly yes, non-.gr access is for­bid­den now.
    I am not quite sure of the nature of the attacks that ori­gin­ate from abroad.
    Are they e-mail har­vesters or search engine bots?
