I have solved it by routing the traffic through an IP which isn't blocked.

Out of curiosity, which country are you located in? Where I work, I have our corporate firewall configured to block IP blocks involved in DDOS/DOS attacks for 30 hours. Our ISP is a lot more enthused and will do lockouts up to 60 days (and longer for repeated attacks). So Kobo's ISP may have blocked your ISP's IP address blocks as known malicious blocks.
Using the Tor browser, I checked by changing my Tor circuit so I ended up using 26 different IPs in 16 countries and had no issues connecting to Kobo's site.
