It's an issue with the "GAME" anti-DDoS on OVH hosted machines. For EU serveme.tf that means ElzasBrigade and MonikaBrigade, and for au.serveme.tf all the ozfortress bookables.
Because it's been rather quiet on the DDoS front this year, I wouldn't be against disabling it for a while. This wouldn't disable all anti-DDoS measures, just some stuff that tries to ensure any traffic on the servers is related to TF2.
