pandas.read_html() returning errors

Question

I'm following a pandas course online and see the instructor easily import a table with:

import pandas as pd
url= 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1976_Summer_Olympics_medal_table'
pd.read_html(url,header=0)

When I try it, I get errors: errors

Is this an Anaconda issue? I had a friend try it from his computer and it worked just fine.

I cannot replicate the error as it works fine for me. SSLCertificationError indicates an internet access issue on your end. — 7shoe

Thanks to 7shoe pointing out an internet issue, I decided to use a VPN. This fixed the errors.
