nodemon: Nodemon hangs if started without internet connection

• Versions: node@v16.18.1, linux@5.15.0-56-generic
• nodemon -v: 2.0.20
• Operating system/terminal environment (powershell, gitshell, etc): fish on gnome-terminal on ubuntu
• Using Docker? What image: no
• Command you ran: npx nodemon server.js

Expected behaviour

When I run npx nodemon server.js while connected to the internet, the server starts up as expected, preceded by nodemon printing its info messages. When I run the same without an internet connection, I expect it to behave the same.

Actual behaviour

When starting nodemon without an internet connection, the program hangs indefinitely, without printing anything to the terminal. This happens even when just running nodemon --help.

Steps to reproduce

1. Disconnect your internet
2. Invoke nodemon
