Server cannot send GET requests to anything (including auth servers)
I'm running a 1.20.1 Modded server off of a spare linux box, for me and some friends. The server has been running fine for about half a year, until I moved the server from my dad's house to mine (as he had been babysitting it for me, while I was in an apartment complex and couldn't port forward). I copied over the portforwarding rules from his router to mine (both of us use TP Deco mesh routers), plugged in my server to ethernet, and was able to see the MOTD both from within my local client and from https://mcsrvstat.us/ . However, whenever I try to join the server, I get an "auth servers are down" error. Looking at the logs, the server doesn't seem to see my initial connection attempt, but when my client shows the auth servers down error, the log says (with identifying info removed): 
[17:49:52] [User Authenticator #2/INFO] [minecraft/ServerLoginPacketListenerImpl]: Disconnecting com.mojang.authlib.GameProfile@[PROFILE_ID][id=<null>,name=[MY USERNAME],properties={},legacy=false] (/[MY IP ADDRESS]:56087): Authentication servers are down. Please try again later, sorry!

I don't know whether it's a red herring or not, but I'm hosting it on port 25555, not 56087 but am unsure if it trying to communicate to my ip via that port is normal or not. Looking at the logs, I also noticed that any mod that's trying to run a version check (or patreon check) is failing (message got too long, see reply). I've never seen anything like this in my years of hosting modded servers. Any ideas?
