Your http access was flagged because of URI escape encoding ( 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding ), which is not a rare event, 
but is sometimes used to hide malicious requests.


 ?Potential http URIescape (hex UTF-8) probe:

Your request was not malicious and should not have been blocked. I 
suspect it was selected for blockage by accident.

The "potential malicious" lists are sometimes long and mistakes happen. 
:-) Sorry.

Hi Steve,

thank you for the explanation.
Unfortunately our IP is blocked again (it is still 165.225.72.121).

Gateway Timeout

Server error - server 74.102.29.59 is unreachable at this moment.

Please retry the request or contact your administrator.

Br,
Jens
