Don't you have to add a port number if your not in europe for eu servers? Like eu2.skial.com:2020.

You do since it's not on the standard port. If it's happening with all servers then it's on your end. If it's only the one server, I would ask your friend to check his configuration. By default the server will setup to only be able to connect on the LAN it's on. If they're hosting it on a residential connection, then the outbound ports may be blocked by the ISP.

EDIT: Could also be your AV program blocking TF2. If you have another machine in your house I would try that.
 
You may need to open ports on your modem/router, which can easily be done by accessing portforwarding in your routers options. many newer routers have simplified drop menus for most popular games. Although i think this option is unlikely
