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.
It is a Hetzner server. They have server's located in Finland/Germany.

It is very odd that it took me that many attempts to find one IP that would connect.
