I had this issue, too, after upgrading to Ventura 13.2. Also couldn't get to the app store, and everything else was slowwww. I was poking around and found a filter on my network (System Settings > Network > Filters) called Little Snitch. Don't know why it's there, but it was active. I disabled it and everything started working again.

FYI ... Little Snitch is a software firewall application. It is not a native macOS app and would need to be installed. Having it enabled, and depending on how it was configured, could simply explain the issue you were experiencing on your Mac.

Also, FYI, macOS already has two types of software firewalls built-in, but are disabled by default.
