This probably means something is not right with you machine’s IPv6 setup as it can’t seem to connect to the IPv6 address of icanhazip.com.
First check if the hostname icanhazip.com resolves to a valid IPv6 address. Should be something like:

> host icanhazip.com
icanhazip.com has address 104.16.185.241
icanhazip.com has address 104.16.184.241
icanhazip.com has IPv6 address 2606:4700::6810:b8f1
icanhazip.com has IPv6 address 2606:4700::6810:b9f1

Then check if it is reachable:

> ping6 2606:4700::6810:b8f1
PING 2606:4700::6810:b8f1(2606:4700::6810:b8f1) 56 data bytes
