net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED After resizing droplet

Yesterday we decided to resize our droplet. Before that, everything was running fine. Our Node/Express server was up, and we could connect to it.

After resizing it. We could no longer fetch from the server, even though the application is 100% running, I’ve checked many times, via pm2. Logs are being printed out constantly.

I’ve read countless threads and tried countless solutions, none that worked so far. Port seems fine. Firewalls are disabled.

The 2 errors we are getting are net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED and TypeError: Failed to fetch.

The application runs fine on localhost, just not on the droplet. Would appreciate any help. If there’s any further information needed please let me know.

Edit: Not sure how relevant, but I ran “service nginx status” and got the following:
