Please restart your Mac in Safe Mode, and try connecting again:
Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support
That safe mode startup will (temporarily) disable various add-on apps, including many problem add-on apps.

Apple has lots of servers.
Which app, and what is the message shown? (screenshot)
If there are any add-on VPN apps or add-on security apps installed on your Mac, remove all, and try your test again.

What do you actually mean by “lost connection to Apple server”? That means nothing. What specifically is your issue, problem, glitch?
