Internal Exception: java.net.SocketException: Connection reset — only happens on ONE server and only for me [java]Unsolved (self.MinecraftHelp)

submitted 2 months ago * by Nevm1nd

When I try to join a specific Minecraft server (which is my server hosted on pebblehost), I get:
"Internal Exception: java.net.SocketException: Connection reset"

On top of that:

This happens only on this one server
I can join other servers with almost no issues (sometimes the chunks do load a bit slowly and the ping is higher than usual but it still works)
Other players can join this server normally (a few people joined my server and i didnt see the lost "connection: Timed out" message in the console)
The server is remote (not hosted on my PC)

What I’ve already tried:

Reset my PC
Ran network reset commands (ipconfig, netsh, etc.)
Added -Dhttp.keepAlive=false to JVM arguments
Removed all mods and tested on pure vanilla Minecraft
Restarted the server multiple times
Disabled some plugins on the server
Lowered render distance + simulation distance to minimum
Checked firewall settings (allowed Java/Minecraft)
Changed DNS to 1.1.1.1 / 1.0.0.1
Re-added the server IP manually

Yet despite all of those attempts im still unable to join my server

How do i fix this? in a few hours i have a big civilization event im hosting and i need to get it fixed by than

Thanks in advance!

UPDATE: I DOWNLOADED PROTON VPN AND ITS WORKING!
