I guess the pigeons they use for L1 got distracted or eaten by cat?

Try running pings to virpus.com, had the same issue to my VPS public IP:

They've actually been around a long time, I used them 10ish years ago and never really had any trouble. Wanted to do some testing with some stuff and saw they had a pretty decent deal for what I was looking for. Their page was working fine at the time, so didn't think twice. Lesson learned!
