This happens for me on any server so really it's modded or vanilla, but I discovered this first with a modded pack.
The problem: every single server I could once connect to now says that I can't. What is curious though, is one of them was a GTA server and it consistently showed me the number of people in the server, however the reception bars were crossed out and I couldn't read any information (ping, player names). But the number of people would change when I refreshed, so clearly I am able to access the server in some way. Every time I try to log into one of these servers, I get the java error of "connection refused: no further information" etc. HOWEVER, something curious is that when I test my own server while it isn't running, it takes significantly longer to return an error and it is different: it says TIMED OUT rather than connection refused. When I then ran my own server, I could connect to it. My mother said it might be a wi-fi issue, but I have the same ping on one of the servers I now can't connect to (10-30ms) so surely I'd be able to access that one too? Plus I'm now connected to the internet via a cable, still an issue.
The cause: I do not know the cause. The way it happened was I had my modpack loaded and in the multiplayer menu. The bars were green, and had been for a while. Only a few minutes later I decided to refresh to see if anyone had logged on- that was when I couldn't connect. I figured the server was unstable and went to go look at others, but everything was unreachable.
What I've done: I have added java to my firewall exceptions and even written rules for the 25565 port, something about TCP and UDP or something. I've restarted my computer. I've disabled my firewall, still nothing. I completely uninstalled and reinstalled minecraft, but the issue is only persisting.
I'm very very lost, and I'm really desperate for help. I can't find a single problem similar to the one I'm facing right now that someone may have had resolved.
I apologise if I left out any crucial information- happy to provide any needed.
Do you have antivirus on your computer? Try suspending it temporarily while you're connecting.
Are you routing your connection through a router? If yes, you gotta do on the router, the same thing you already did on your firewall.
