I am not sure what kind of service this site provides, but it is region locked! When I try to access the site, (any part of the URL, even the homepage, I get to see the following error:

"Sorry, this request is coming from a country which we currently do not support. If you feel this is in error, please contact our support team by emailing support@thumbtack.com."

I guess even blogs and articles are now coming under region protection.

That is pretty funny, I wrote the code for that blacklist like 5-6 years ago when Thumbtack was being hammered with spam requests from China and India. I thought it only blocked POST requests, though maybe my memory is wrong or they have made the block more expansive in the meantime.

Anyways there is a version or ABBA usable on github or you can always get the source and run it locally:

Source: https://github.com/thumbtack/abba

Demo: http://thumbtack.github.io/abba/demo/abba.html

It's probably a cloudflare instance that they're running on top of the page. CloudFlare's default protection scheme is pretty harsh to non US/European users.

I've gotten blocked from a couple of sites I was managing because I was in Japan.
