Sounds like issues with Anti-malware virus programs. The ones that insert themselves into your tcp/ip data stream to examine all of your traffic so that you don't' download "bad stuff." I had to shut off thtat processing in Sophos because it had gotten so bad (i.e. taking FOREVER to load any program that talked to the internet.) That was a "sudden" change in how Sophos was working. At first I thought it was simply because I had turned on the iCloud drive (which does impact things). But after a lot of trial and no-luck turned off the option in Sophos. Long ago I had tried Avast! and discovered that it's anti-malware was simply horrible in what it did to a Mac. T.T.F.N. William H.
