[SOLVED] Why do I suddenly get ERR_TIMED_OUT when trying to access gitlab only from my Ubuntu?

Issue

Accessing gitlab was fine then all of a sudden when I try to access it it keeps throwing ERR_TIMED_OUT.Here are the things that I tried but didn't work:

  • I tried changing the DNS to 2 other different DNS servers than the default one, but it didn't work.
  • I tried removing all docker containers that are running to eliminate the possibility of having a container interrupting with the network settings.
  • I tried disabling the IPv6 , I am not sure if I did it right though by editing /etc/resolve.conf
  • I tried pinging gitlab.com from the terminal and it worked fine, then pinged google.com for comparison and I think google pinging worked better, but I don't know what does that indicate? you can find the ping screenshot below ping gitlab and google
  • I tried accessing gitlab using the same device but using a mobile hotspot and it worked fine, I also tried accessing gitlab from the same wifi I am using but through a mobile device and it worked fine, I don't know what does that signify.
  • I also tried using vpn to access gitlab and it worked.
  • I tried Google Chrome and Firefox, had the same results.

I can't figure out what's the problem, is there anything that I might do to solve this ?
