passport-google-oauth Failed to fetch user profile ECONNRESET

login via google on my meanjs website stopped working all of the sudden after three years, without any change to the code. The request sent:

/**
 * Module dependencies
 */
var passport = require('passport'),
  GoogleStrategy = require('passport-google-oauth').OAuth2Strategy,
  users = require('../../controllers/users.server.controller');

module.exports = function (config) {
  // Use google strategy
  passport.use(new GoogleStrategy({
    clientID: config.google.clientID,
    clientSecret: config.google.clientSecret,
    callbackURL: config.google.callbackURL,
    passReqToCallback: true,
    scope: ['profile', 'email']
  },
    function (req, accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
      // Set the provider data and include tokens
      var providerData = profile._json;
      providerData.accessToken = accessToken;
      providerData.refreshToken = refreshToken;
      // Create the user OAuth profile
      var providerUserProfile = {
        firstName: profile.name.givenName,
        lastName: profile.name.familyName,
        displayName: profile.displayName,
        email: profile.emails[0].value,
        username: profile.username,
        profileImageURL: (providerData.picture) ? providerData.picture : undefined,
        provider: 'google',
        providerIdentifierField: 'id',
        providerData: providerData
      };

      // Save the user OAuth profile
      users.saveOAuthUserProfile(req, providerUserProfile, done);
    }));
};

this successfuly redirects to google consent screen, after login the call back is fired:

  passport.authenticate('google', {},function (err, user, info) {
    if (err) {
      console.log(err);
      return res.redirect('/authentication/signin?err=' + encodeURIComponent(errorHandler.getErrorMessage(err)));
    }
    if (!user) {
      return res.redirect('/authentication/signin');
    }
.....

and returns the error "Failed to fetch user profile", this is the console.log of the err var:

{ InternalOAuthError: Failed to fetch user profile

  oauthError: { Error: read ECONNRESET
    at TLSWrap.onread (net.js:622:25) errno: 'ECONNRESET', code: 'ECONNRESET', syscall: 'read' } }

Again saying, this started suddenly after working for 3 years. no code changes were made.

any ideas?

Cheers
