haha, damn, it seemed like my internet went out but then i disabled my VPN and checked that https://mleku.realy.lol was offline ... then i discovered that although i had balance in my vps.bg account to pay, i was overdue and they suspended the VPS's network connection

actioned the payment, made it auto, and next month's fees are in there ready so middle of next month i don't have this happen again lol
