Causes projects with the got package to fail with RequestError: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:443

Description

If this package is loaded along with the got request library, requests will fail with the following error:
RequestError: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:443

Reproduction

You can install and run the following gist for a repro:
https://gist.github.com/danwkennedy/17c82801f19aa57a96615df2dffb4484

It looks like this lib might patch something in the http/https libraries that causes a break with got. Similar to this issue:
sindresorhus/got#951

Environment

Please provide the following:

• Version of this library used: ^2.25.1
• Version of the platform or framework used, if applicable: Node v14.2.0
• Other relevant versions (language, server software, OS, browser): MacOs 10.15.4
• Other modules/plugins/libraries that might be involved: got@^11.1.4

I experienced the similar errors from Got when Auth0 package is loaded BEFORE Got is loaded. That happened when using shopify-api-node which uses Got as its HTTP library. The error message was confusing, RequestError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0 in xxxxxx

I was using nestjs DI in modules to inject Auth0 client and hit this error. It took me some time to figure out. A workaround I tested working was to load the Auth0 lib AFTER Got is loaded. This is not ideal and I wonder if there is a proper fix.
