You can specify a timeout parameter when calling urllib2.urlopen(). We
didn't specify one because the default is usually long enough for most
people.

More info on the urllib2 library here:
http://docs.python.org/library/urllib2.html?highlight=urllib2

The line of code that connects to google.com is used to test whether or
not you can see the internet. If you are having problems connecting to
google.com, then there is a high chance that you have a bigger problem
then just timeouts. I suggest you take a look at how your connection is
setup and the way your pfsense firewall is configured. You may also need
to configure a proxy service provided by your service provider.

I don't know anything about your service provider.
