Whether you use SharePoint Online Management Shell to run the PowerShell?

Whether you have a proxy?

Please check the firewall is off and the network works well.

If you have an account secured with MFA, when using PnP PowerShell you have to use the weblogin option which shows a popup to support MFA.

Please use the below PnP powershell command:

Connect-PnPOnline -Url "https://contoso.sharepoint.com" -UseWebLogin

OR

Connect-PnPOnline -Url "https://contoso.sharepoint.com" -Interactive

Solution: Set up PowerShell proxy

Due to the account secured with MFA, when using PnP PowerShell you must have to use Interactive parement which shows a popup to support MFA. You cannot use Credentials parameter.
