At some point yesterday the functions: file_get_contents, get_headers, and curl have stopped working with error: Connection refused. Ex:



Curl: (7) Failed to connect to www.alebalweb.com port 443: Connection refused.


I do not understand why, I was just uploading files and no one touched anything on the server. Until a moment before everything worked and it worked for years.
With Curl, I do the cronjob of my site once a day, and never had any problems.
I thought the SSL certificates had expired, but it seems not. The site is online and it works, if I try to access the site via curl from my local PC, curl works smoothly. I thought I was banned at UFW or fail2ban for some reason, but I changed my local IP and nothing changed. And anyway I see a lot of errors in the Apache logs, from many different IPs.
The problem occurs on all sites on my server.



I really can't understand what could have happened, everything worked perfectly until yesterday afternoon.



The Server is Ubuntu 18.04 on vultr.



I also found some strange errors in syslog, probably related.

          I reset Fail2ban, and something seems to have come back to work...



          But I have absolutely no idea how the server managed to block itself via Fail2ban...



          Any ideas? Above all, any ideas to prevent this from happening again in the future?
