The fact that you get the CNAME says that someone can talk to their
nameservers, which may or may not be in the same general location.
".tk" is Tokelau - a group of islands in the central Pacific that sells
designer domain names. A lot of the actual hosts seem to be in the USA or
(as in this case) Scandinavia. No idea what is the attraction. Whatever.

Hmmm... Won't respond to pings, and there is something blocking 19 hops
from me. But I can see there is a web server. Let's try something else.

They are running a firewall that is "stealth". How exciting.
