Hey there -
From the message you posted, it appears that network restrictions have been placed on your Linode. This could be why you're having trouble reaching your site. Also, when this happens, you would most likely need to access your Linode via LISH.
My recommendation would be to start by checking to see if your Linode may have been compromised. One of the links we gave in the ticket will take you to a great post that gives you quite a few ways of investigating this. I'll link it again here for you:

If you do find your Linode is compromised, you can use this guide to recover from it:
Recovering from a System Compromise
That should give you a good place to start out, and I hope that helps. If you have any questions, let us know.
