No worries.

I uploaded the bench pack here: https://file.io/NDCrIN ,

hmm..
404 page not found

Hm you're right, it stopped working.

Another thing you could try is this direct link: https://www.philscomputerlab.com/uploads/3/7/ … .4_jan_2017.zip

Also uploaded it here (1 day expiration!): https://easyupload.io/bzutoa

but I’m still interested why this site doesn’t opened here, in Russia
I tried several providers and several computers/mobile devices

Many times in cases like this the nameservers pointing to a certain website will be down/unavailable from a certain part of the world. If you had a VPN and could use a connection in the USA for example i bet it would work for you. This can even be down to your specific ISP could have some issues with reaching certain sites.

I definitely need to try experimenting with VPN

Also try to change your default DNS servers. Maybe your Internet provider blocks some websites worldwide.

I was just going to suggest something to this affect.

in command prompt you want to try:
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns

Just note that this is going to also reset the internal ip address of your machine on your local network. If its still not working clear your browser cache.

I assume its not blocked by your ISP as you said it was working for you at some point, but I suppose stranger things have happened.

https://www.philscomputerlab is not accessible from Ukraine too. I think there is some kind of IP block on his hosting service.

The same reason you had to chastise him for it.
