Python requests extremely slow in a specific machine

Question

I found that the requests module works extremely slow in my laptop, something like this will take more than 3 minutes to complete.

    import requests
    r = requests.get('https://api.github.com/events')
    r.text

I can access that page using browser with no delay, I can run this in google colaboratory within a second, I can run it on another computer using the same network within a second, so there must be something wrong with my laptop.

But how can I know what exactly is going wrong?
