Opening links from external applications super slow

Opening links from other applications or command line (`firefox mozilla.org`) takes always over 10 seconds. In fact, it is very consistent that it takes between 10.19 and 10.23 seconds to open. Opening links and tabs from within firefox is not an issue, works instantly. Problem persists even after restarting browser in safe mode with all extensions disabled. It isn't consuming resources either during these 10 seconds, seems to just sit idle:

time firefox mozilla.org

real 0m10,196s user 0m0,121s sys 0m0,017s

How could I debug or solve this issue?

EDIT: I have determined that this delay only occurs while connected to VPN.
