As linkp showed connections to your domain are also failing (http port 80).

Can you make outbound requests to anything? What does this do?

Hmm. I thought the curl to google would likely fail.

What do these two show

curl https://www.cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/trace
sudo traceroute -T -p 443 acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org

As for inbound HTTP to your domain, are you expecting those to fail?

The provider solved the problem, it told me that there was a DDoS attack in the /24 range
