The client tries to log me in then stoos and an error sign appears with a message about server connection error.
to be clear i had been able to log in and play the day before
I'm pretty sure it will go away. You see that error if the client cannot load this file: https://content.faforever.com/dfc-config.json
Try load it in a browser and see if it works
